Aquathlon YOTTA de Villeurbanne 2027

At Aquathlon YOTTA de Villeurbanne, racers complete multiple swim-run loops. The adult YOTTA format can involve up to five swim-run loops. This March pool aquathlon in Villeurbanne, located in the Rhône near Lyon, offers Youth, XS, and S options. A YOTTA Compact loop consists of 200m of swimming followed by 2km of running. Some XPS listings use a 250m pool swim before the same 2km run. The pool setting ensures a controlled swim, and buoy courses are used for children and adults. The race, organized with ASVEL Triathlon, is part of a series with cut-offs. Athletes must complete each swim, transition, and run within a time limit to advance. The time limit becomes stricter with each round, making pacing and transitions a key challenge. Children compete in straightforward one-loop aquathlons, with distances adjusted by age, starting at 50m swim and 300m run for the youngest. Cadets and juniors use Yotta Junior loops of 200m swim and 1km run. Older juniors and adults can compete individually, in relays, or in team time trials. Now in its nineteenth edition, the event functions as a regular club fixture.
