Combining only the swim and run legs of a triathlon, the Aquathlon is accessible to all members of a national triathlon federation. Kicking off the event program and a championship in itself, athletes will also use this as a warm up event for their triathlon events later in the festival program.

ITU Corporate Teams Triathlon & Teams Relay World Championships

The ITU Corporate Triathlon World Championships are accessible to all business or organisations wishing to enter teams. There are two Teams options available – the Team Triathlon where every team member completes an enticer distance triathlon concurrently adding their times together for final results, and the Team Relay where each member does only one leg of an Olympic distance triathlon and passes the timing chip onto the next member to complete the race. Expecting over 1500 corporate competitors this event provides the ULITIMATE corporate experience.
