In Toulon, this triathlon combines sea swimming, city cycling, and beachside running into a compact race weekend on the Var coast. The Triloop Race - Triathlon de Toulon takes place in mid-April, offering three distances: XS, S, and M. The XS involves a 400 m swim, 10 km bike, and 2.5 km run; the S increases to a 750 m swim, 20 km bike, and 5 km run; the M is the longest option, with a 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike, and 10 km run.
The course utilizes Toulon’s seafront, with segments by the sea, on sand, and through the city. The M swim consists of two 750 m loops, aiding shore-based spectators in following the longest distance. The event caters to both novice triathletes and seasoned competitors, supported by the range of distances. Triloop, the organizer, is a Toulon-based endurance clothing brand, and the race reflects that focus on the environment through reduced plastic, reusable eco-cups, recycled material goodies, and optional donations to Action contre la faim during registration.
