What this race demands

Triathlon Locarno requires sustained multi-sport pacing across a 113 km middle-distance course with moderate elevation gain.

Aero efficiency

The 113 km total distance across swim, bike, and run demands sustained aerobic output and efficient pacing throughout the multi-sport effort.

Climbing volume

The modest 530 m of elevation gain requires steady climbing strength and efficient energy conservation across the course.

Transition endurance

Racing across three distinct disciplines on September 5th requires precise physiological transitions and steady fatigue resistance.

Given the middle-distance format lasting over 2.5 hours, athletes should target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain performance.
