Triathlons in Gironde

From ocean to castles, a majestic course

The particularly mild oceanic climate is your best ally for performing all year round ☀️. You will swim in the lively waters of the Atlantic or in the peaceful lakes of Gironde 💧. Then, it's time for cycling on smooth roads in the heart of a genuine forest race among Landes maritime pines 🌲. The Gascon, our historic dialect, will resonate in your ears with the cheers of passionate locals 📣. The race in Gironde is never monotonous with such exceptional biodiversity 🌿. The Gironde estuary, the largest in Western Europe, will remind you that water is the central element of this fascinating territory 🌊.

The flat land that makes thighs burn

Don't think the absence of high mountains will make the task easy, as the coastal wind will seriously test you 💨. The elevation is certainly subtle here, but the long endless straight lines wear out even the most robust bodies 💪. You may pass near the famous Dune of Pilat or the sublime 18th-century facades of the Bordeaux prefecture 🏛️. Talented triathletes from the famous Girondins de Bordeaux Triathlon club often dictate their law here during fierce competitions 🏆. It's the pure spirit of the South-West, we give it our all and absolutely never give up! 🤘0
