Prepare to Race Strong at the Half Distance Triathlon France – Nice
The Nice Half Distance Triathlon offers a truly iconic race experience:
🌊 Swim 1.9 km in the clear waters of the Mediterranean, starting from Plage des Ponchettes.

🏃 Run 21.1 km along the historic Promenade des Anglais, surrounded by the energy of a city that has hosted world champions.
