Set against the vibrant sports culture of Brazil’s capital, the Half Distance Triathlon Brasília promises fast racing and an exciting race experience. You'll swim 1.9 km in the calm waters of Lake Paranoá (76°F / 24°C), ride 90 km over two smooth laps along Brasília’s iconic wide avenues, and run 21.1 km through a tree-lined park (race day highs near 82°F / 28°C).

Our 44-Week Beginner Training Plan is designed to prepare you for the demands of Brasília, regardless of your starting point.

We begin with a 12-week targeted base phase focused on building your strength, conditioning, and endurance—all important for tackling the warm waters, flat but fast bike course, and steady run through the city’s green heart.
