Triathlon Gent

About the race

Triathlon Gent is the city triathlon of the Mr. T. Triathlon Club Gent, with several formats in a single day. The entry-level distance is called Just for Fun and stays deliberately modest: 300 metres of swimming, 10 kilometres of cycling and 2.5 kilometres of running, open from the age of twelve. Alongside it are separate sprint races for women and men, each over 800 metres of swimming, 20 kilometres of cycling and 5 kilometres of running, from the age of fifteen. Those preferring to start together can enter as a team: one participant swims, a second cycles and a third runs. That build-up makes the event suitable for beginning triathletes and for those with racing experience alike.
