SATURDAY 29 AND SUNDAY 30 JUNE 2024
EMBRUN
Come and experience what it's like to be a triathlete!
The history of the Courte Distance, born of the myth: the "Embrunman"!
The short distance was born in 1987, when it became a separate event in the Embrunman. Faced with distances that gave this competition the image of being the toughest in the world, the organization added the short distance to satisfy less seasoned triathletes. The short distance has been separated from the mythical Embrunman with a new organization and has become an event in its own right. It is strategically placed at the start of the summer season. A good preparation for some, a challenge for others!
4 exceptional events in a unique setting. Come and take up the challenge!
