This virtual triathlon race is a simulated athletic event consisting of swimming, cycling and running across Etopia island. The three sports disciplines are placed back-to-back in immediate sequence, just like in a real triathlon.

The swim will take place in Etopia’s bay, followed by the bike portion along the island’s Train Track and finishing with a run around the island on a challenging moutain bike course and through Etopia's downtown. At the finish line, expect to receive trophies for each participant and cash prizes for the top 3 men and women. (Gold medal winners receive L$300)

You should have your own swim and run animation, as well as preferably your own bike. Some bikes and swim animations will be made available, but be sure to register ahead of time to ensure that we will be able to accommodate you.

Have you got what it takes?

If you haven't don't worry just come along and cheer on the participants!

NOTE: ONLY pre-registered participants can race!!
