Urban Triathlon d'Albi

The Urban Triathlon d'Albi is the Albi event in France's Triathlon Series, the FFTRI-run circuit that functions as the French championship for elite and second-division triathlon clubs. It begins the five-race season in early June and follows the sprint format: a 750 m swim, 20 km bike, and 5 km run. The series emphasizes club racing, with men's and women's teams competing based on each club's roster. The Albi race takes place on an urban circuit within the city's historic center, distinguishing it from a remote countryside triathlon or a long-distance event. It is one leg of a national club competition that also includes stops in Vichy, Quiberon, La Baule, and Cabourg, concluding in late September. Each division features 16 teams, and clubs like Triathlon Club Lievin and Poissy Triathlon enter with championship-winning histories.
