The Half Distance Triathlon Aix-en-Provence is more than just a race — it's a full-sensory experience set against the stunning backdrop of southern France. From the pristine waters of Lake Peyrolles to the technical bike climbs of Montagne Sainte-Victoire and the vibrant finish at La Rotonde, this event demands strategy, strength, and precise preparation.
.
🏊 Swim with Confidence:
Tackle the 1.9 km (1.2 mile) swim in the clear, calm waters of Lake Peyrolles, just 20 km from Aix. With average water temperatures of 64°F (18°C), it’s ideal for wetsuit racing and an efficient, energy-saving start.
.
🚴 Conquer the Climb:
The 90 km (56 mile) bike course climbs 1077 meters through a mix of flats and demanding hills. With scenic vineyards, iconic Provençal landscapes, and winding descents, our plan prepares you for technical terrain and race-day winds—disc wheels are wisely banned here for safety.
.
🏃 Own the Run:
The 21.1 km (13.1 mile), three-loop run leads from the lively city center through Parc de la Torse, finishing triumphantly at La Rotonde. Our plan ensures your legs are ready to fly when it matters most.
