Nestled in the heart of Occitanie, Revel is a small town with authentic charm 🤌, surrounded by the Montagne Noire and neighboring Lake Saint-Ferréol. This lake, listed as a historic site and created in the 17th century to supply the Canal du Midi, provides the backdrop for the swim 🏊‍♀️ and run segments. The organizers have thought of as many people as possible, with many distances available, for experienced triathletes or beginners 🏅. The bike routes take you through the Montagne Noire ⛰️, with winding roads and climbs that will put your legs to the test, but also fast descents and breathtaking landscapes 😮‍💨. You’ll have to give it your all on the climb to the Croix de Montalric 📈 between Sorèze and Arfons, used by the Tour de France during the Muret–Carcassonne stage in 2025 🤯. You’ll be timed on this section ⏱️, so we hope the wind is at your back! 💨 The run takes place on forest trails 🌲 and tree-lined paths. The mild, sunny climate of June 🌞 will be with you even after the race, so you can enjoy the pasta party and the festive, musical atmosphere of BreathMan! 🎺

Once you’ve crossed the finish line—or before the race—you’ll obviously want to enjoy Revel and its surroundings. Occitanie and Haute-Garrone are full of natural and cultural treasures worth the detour 😍. Of course, you can experience the Lake of Saint-Ferréol again, which was for more than 200 years the largest dam in Europe 🌏. History lovers will enjoy discovering the Canal du Midi, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site 😉. Got heavy legs or feel like resting? Stay in Revel and soak up all the culture. Its 17th-century covered market, its picturesque lanes and its warm atmosphere will delight you 😎.

So, are you joining the adventure? 😁
