Set in Lima along Peru’s stunning Pacific coastline, the Half Distance Triathlon Peru is fast, flat, and built for speed. You’ll swim 1.2 miles (1.9K) in the calm waters of Agua Dulce Beach, bike 56 miles (90K) along the closed, traffic-free Costa Verde highway, and finish with a scenic 13.1-mile (21.1K) run facing the ocean. With average race-day temperatures around 74°F (24°C), this is an ideal venue to aim for your personal best.
To meet the demands of this course and achieve your performance goals, you need a structured, smart training plan—especially if you're a Masters athlete over 40. Our 44-week Half Distance Triathlon Peru training plan is engineered to guide you from base fitness to race-day peak, even with zero prior endurance experience.
