The Middle Distance Triathlon in Gallipoli is a challenging and inspiring test of endurance, demanding equal parts strength, strategy, and preparation. With a 1.9 km open water swim in cool bay waters, a 90 km bike featuring nearly 900m of elevation gain—including steep climbs like Conkbayiri Hill—and a 21.1 km coastal run through historic ANZAC landmarks, this course requires more than just fitness. You need a training plan that understands your needs and matches the course's demands.
