Whether you're a novice or experienced triathlete, you'll surely be looking to surpass yourself in this race, now in its 8th year.

To begin, you’ll need to dash into the water from the beach at the Base Nature to complete two 750-metre laps of swimming.

You then enter the transition area on the beach before attacking 20,6 km of mountain biking with 350m of elevation gains and losses overall. The bike section is a fairly fast route through the Petites Maures, reaching its highest point at km 10. It will be followed by a 5-km section on a hilly landscape which will be favourable to the best technical specialists, before going back to the Base Nature with five very fast kilometres.

The running section will be two relatively flat 5-km loops, but which resemble a cross-country course with many changes of pace.

This is the event’s flagship race!

Although it moved from Ramatuelle to Fréjus nearly twenty years ago, the DNA of the 1984 version remains intact.

Fifty-odd kilometres across abrasive, sometimes sandy, sometimes rocky, terrain, which alternates between endless climbs and slopes so steep that riders’ noses almost hit their wheels with the effort needed to climb. This is a noble event. It has lent a certain celebrity to places such as Le Bougnon, the Fournel descent, La Gaillard, the Sentier des Douaniers and many more.

A race of attrition, a real, personal challenge that every mountain biker should take up one day in their cycling career.
