Embrun
40th edition
The Embrun Man: the toughest triathlon in the world!
The EmbrunMan is a world-class XXL triathlon(IronMan classification) approved by the French Triathlon Federation (FFTri), held in Embrun, Lac de Serre-Ponçon. Every year on August 15, runners take to the water at Embrun for a mythical course! It all starts with a 3.8km swim, in 2 loops, to be completed in the early hours of the morning on the Embrun lake, followed by 188km of cycling (3600m ascent), including the Col Izoard in the Guillestre-Briançon direction. And finally, 42km of running, a marathon distance, with 440m of ascent, on a course of 3 loops. These various events pass through Embrun, as well as many emblematic landscapes of the Hautes-Alpes, such as the Izoard: this climb to 2360m altitude, which became part of the cycling route in 1989, makes it a real event worthy of the Tour de France, with the Serre-Ponçon lake as a backdrop.
How did the Embrunman become a world-renowned myth? In 1984, the Embrunman started out as a short-distance triathlon: 750m swim, 30km bike and 10km run. The changes came with the 2nd edition, when the distances were doubled. By 1987, it had earned the nickname "the toughest triathlon in the world", with its impressive dimensions almost identical to those of today. Over the years, it became the number-one goal for triathletes from all over the world, thanks to the number of participants, particularly foreign athletes, and the media coverage. The myth is in place, and every year it inspires new dreams!
Come one, come all to take part in or witness this world-class sporting event. The Embrunman is not only a sporting adventure, but above all a human one, with some 1,500 participants and 28 different nationalities taking part every year.
