When racing the Full Distance Triathlon Italy, your preparation must match the course’s beauty and demands. From the sun-drenched swim in the Adriatic Sea off Cervia’s beach to the rolling hills of Romagna’s countryside and the historic run through Cervia’s medieval town center—this race is unforgettable. But to perform your best, you need a training plan built to meet the moment.
