Mangia's Triathlon Sicily

Mangia's Triathlon Sicily takes place in Sciacca, on Sicily's southwest coast, centered around Contrada Sovareto and the Sciaccamare resort. The event occurs in spring, featuring Olympic-distance legs: a 1,500-metre sea swim, a 40 km bike ride, and a 10 km run. The start/finish area is Torre del Barone at Sciacca Mare, with Now Team A.S.D. organizing in partnership with Mangia's Resort. The course begins with the swim at Sciaccamare, followed by a bike leg through the resort's private park and into the adjacent hills, concluding with a run. Race accounts suggest a technical bike course, with Riccardo Cultore noted for power and handling, and Giovanni Lombardo controlling the men's race. The podiums also highlight the presence of young Sicilian talent, with Junior men and Youth B women competing near the front. Sciacca's location offers more than just a resort setting; it is situated between the Valley of the Temples at Agrigento and Selinunte's archaeological park, and the town features an old fish market with convenient access to major Sicilian wineries.
