Official event pageWhat this race demands
LOTTO Challenge Gdańsk requires sustaining effort across a middle-distance triathlon format featuring a Baltic Sea swim and a fast, flat course.
Middle-Distance Endurance
The 113 km total distance requires sustained aerobic output and efficient pacing across swim, bike, and run disciplines.
Flat Course Speed
The fast, flat profile places a premium on sustained power application and aerodynamic positioning without the relief of significant climbing.
Open-Water Conditions
The Baltic Sea swim demands comfort with open-water sighting, potential chop, and early-summer water temperatures.
A target intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour is recommended to sustain energy levels across the multi-hour duration of the middle-distance event.
