Triathlon des Sharks

Triathlon des Sharks is a June triathlon held in Couvin, Belgium, utilizing the Barrage du Ry de Rome for its course. It provides three distances: Découverte XS for less experienced or shorter-distance participants, Promo S, and Courte Distance M, with an S race relay available. A recent count showed 660 registered participants, indicating a well-attended local club event rather than a small practice session. The race begins and ends in Couvin. The swim takes place in the lake at the barrage, followed by a hilly bike route and a run course along the water. Sharks Triathlon Chimay Couvin organizes the event, which is part of the Ligue Francophone de Triathlon schedule. Registrants can also purchase an official BodyCross t-shirt, presented as a lasting memento of the race.
