The event in a few words

One Light, Two On, Three Tri, let's go! Heading to the Meuse, for the LIGHT ON TRI Madine***, the new must-attend event for triathletes in the Grand Est... and maybe soon yours too! ๐Ÿ˜‰ We'll meet in mid-September in Nonsard-Lamarche, between Metz and Nancy, for a crazy triathlon with nearly a thousand participants each year ๐Ÿ”ฅ. Needless to say, there will be some elbowing at the start line! ๐Ÿ’ช Go on, make your choice... Between the S format and M, there's something for everyone. We're even hearing in our earpiece ๐Ÿฆป that there's an L format for those with bigger appetites! Yes indeed, Jamy ๐Ÿค“. With two kids' races for ages 6 to 9 and ages 10 to 13, the youngest will get their share too! ๐Ÿซก

Nestled in Lorraine, the competition starts at Lake Madine ๐Ÿ, an artificial lake that serves as a biodiversity reserve ๐Ÿฆ†, and which is, among other things, the largest lake in the region ๐Ÿ’ง. No less than that ๐Ÿ˜ฎ. This region is ideal for outdoor sports with its rolling paths, the Meuse hills, meadows ๐ŸŒผ and woodlands ๐Ÿชต. Everything is in place for a sporting experience rich in challenges! โšก๏ธ Don't forget your star sunglasses ๐Ÿ˜Ž, not because you're going to shine brightly (even though we're sure you will), but because there's a good chance the sun will poke its nose out for your greatest pleasure... ๐ŸŒž Yes indeed, at this time of year, it's guaranteed Indian summer! Temperatures will hover around 20ยฐC, although water temperatures are rather cool ๐Ÿฅถ, hence the strongly recommended neoprene wetsuit! โš ๏ธ Rather pleasant "all rintintin" conditions, as our friends in the Grand-Est say, for a weekend of great sport and sharing! ๐Ÿ˜

And if you're the tireless type ๐Ÿคช, and still have some energy left in your legs, go off and discover the surroundings. You won't be disappointed! ๐Ÿคซ Located a few kilometers from Nonsard-Lamarche, the Butte de Montsec is an isolated hill that offers a spectacular panoramic view ๐Ÿ‘€ over the whole Woรซvre plain and Lake Madine, making it a spot much appreciated by hikers for its natural viewpoint at 360ยฐ ๐Ÿž๏ธ. For a slightly more cultural visit ๐Ÿค“, you can head to the Vent des forรชts ๐ŸŒณ, a preserved natural place where natural beauty and contemporary art meet along nearly 45 km of trails ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธโ€โžก๏ธ. But don't worry, we've also thought of your taste buds... ๐Ÿ˜‹ After all that sport ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ, it's only natural for your stomach to cry out for food. Luckily, the Grand Est region is rich in exceptional dishes! Treat yourself in the land of pรขtรฉ and quiche Lorraine ๐Ÿฅง. Awaken your sense of taste with the unique flavor of local truffle, and finish with a sweet touch ๐Ÿญ with the Commercy madeleines, the famous madeleines (of Proust) that inspired Marcel... *drumroll ๐Ÿฅ* Proust (unsurprisingly)! ๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†•๏ธ

So, charmed by the Grand Est? The LIGHT ON TRI Madine*** ๐ŸŠ triathlon is just waiting for you! ๐Ÿซต

5 reasons to join this race

One of the most beautiful sporting challenges ๐Ÿ’ช
Triathlon means diving in like a Manaudou ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ, pedaling like a Jeannie Longo ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ and running as if the finish line were calling you by your first name ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธโ€โžก๏ธ. It's also going through every emotionโ€ฆ and finishing with a smile (and jelly legs ๐Ÿ). In short, a completely crazy challenge, and that's why we love doing it again! ๐Ÿ˜
The friendly atmosphere typical of Lorrainers ๐Ÿฅฐ
Light On Tri is also and above all a good-natured atmosphere ๐Ÿ˜›, with athletes from all corners of the country, and volunteers going all out to make a weekend of sharing and mutual support ๐Ÿ’™.
A region with charm โœจ
Between lakes, vineyards, mountains and green meadows, welcome to the Grand Est! ๐Ÿ˜ A region that will help you disconnect from the daily grind of commute-work-sleep... ๐Ÿ’ค
The course that will do you more good than harm ๐Ÿ˜‚
The swim starts at the Digue de Marmont, in Lake Madine, a little gem located in the middle of a nature reserve ๐Ÿž๏ธ. Next comes the bike, where you'll ride around the surroundings and the Pannes communal forest ๐ŸŒณ, which will bring you a breath of fresh air halfway through. Finally, finish with the run along the lake with a panoramic view of the Meuse hills, something to treat yourself to over the last kilometers! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ
The grand finale of the LIGHT ON TRI season ๐Ÿ
Madine is the last stop of the season, after Woippy in May and Pierre-Percรฉe in June. Want to complete the full season? Put 2 LIGHT ON TRI 2027 triathlons in your cart and get 15% off automatically, 20% off for 3! ๐Ÿ’ธ And whatever your time, a finisher medal awaits you under the arch ๐Ÿ….
