Official event pageWhat this race demands
Challenge Forte Village Sardegna requires an athlete to execute a continuous middle-distance triathlon effort across swim, technical bike, and beach-run legs.
Multidisciplinary Endurance
The middle-distance triathlon format requires sustained cardiovascular output and efficient transitions across three distinct disciplines.
Technical Bike Handling
The coastal bike route is technical in nature, demanding bike-handling skill and focus alongside aerobic capacity.
Surface Adaptability
The run course features white-sand beaches, requiring muscular resilience to adapt to shifting running surfaces late in the race.
Given the middle-distance duration exceeding two and a half hours, athletes should aim for an intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain output.
