Kalmar’s Full Distance Triathlon is legendary: a 3.8 km swim in the refreshing Baltic Sea, a scenic 180.2 km bike ride across the Öland Bridge, and a marathon weaving through historic cobblestone streets and cheering crowds. To conquer this course with confidence, your training must be as strategic as the race itself.
