The Triathlon du Pays de Saint-Marcellin takes place at the l’Olympide aquatic center in Chatte, a village in Isère located between Grenoble and Valence. This mid-April event in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes features short-format races, including an XS distance, S-distance team racing, relay options, and youth categories.
The race format accommodates mixed groups and solo participants. The XS distance can be completed individually or as a relay of two or three athletes. The S team format, which uses squads of three to five, is the most popular option. Children's triathlons are available, with categories for ages 6-9 and 10-13. The course utilizes the local outdoor environment around lakes and ponds, and Aquatique Club Olympide is the organizing body.
