Triathlon La Palmyre - M is a middle-distance triathlon on the Atlantic coast at La Palmyre, featuring swimming, cycling, and running in a single event. The swim begins at Plage des Pins de Cordouan near Club Med, then circles a buoy and heads toward La Palmyre beach along Bonne Anse Bay. This event is for triathletes seeking a challenge beyond short formats, with the swim route offering reassurance due to shallow sections where athletes can pause.
After exiting the water, athletes run about 250 meters to the bike park before cycling toward the Côte Sauvage through the Forêt de la Coubre. The bike course involves repeated climbs and descents, with views along the coast and forest roads. The run follows the shoreline for two loops, allowing spectators easy viewing, particularly during the swim and the final coastal stretch. The event concludes at a finish line that complements the seaside location without diminishing the race's seriousness.
