ADRIATIC SERIES Triathlon Olimpico Gold di Vieste

ADRIATIC SERIES Triathlon Olimpico Gold di Vieste is an Olympic-distance triathlon in Vieste, on the Adriatic coast of Puglia in southern Italy, scheduled for early June. The race covers 51.5 km in the standard swim-bike-run order: a sea swim, a road bike leg, and a road run. It is part of the ADRIATIC SERIES and uses Vieste itself as more than a backdrop, moving athletes from open water into the town streets. The swim starts in the Adriatic Sea, then the bike course goes onto the roads through Vieste before the final run closes the race in an urban setting. It suits athletes who are comfortable with the full triathlon rhythm: efficient kit, quick transitions, controlled pacing, and enough left in the legs for the last run. The race is also pitched as a way to experience Puglia through competition, with the route built around the contrast between the coast and the city.
