OLYMPIC DISTANCE TRIATHLON
1.5km/40km/10km
The 1500m swim consists of 2 x 750m laps in the crystal clear blue waters of the South China Sea, off the palm-fringed sands of world class Cua Dai beach. Water temperature is around 29C, so wetsuites are not allowed.
The bike course of the Vietnam Triathlon is fast. The flat and straight 2 lap bike course along the coast is made for record breaking times. There will be a drink station around the 20km mark.
This flat, picturesque run winds through the narrow streets of an ancient fishing village, where friendly locals will cheer you on from their back yard gardens. The course also takes in the mini boat harbour and coastline for a spectacular finish at the hotel lawn. The course is 3 laps of 3.3km and drink stations (water, isotonic drink and sponges) are available every two kilometres.
