T24 Ile de Ré

A triathlon? No. THE triathlon.

The one where you have 24 hours to give it your all, with your friends (or alone if you're the warrior type).

3 disciplines, 1 island, zero excuses. It's up to you to play with the clock.

What you'll find there:

• A unique format: 4 hours of swimming, 12 hours of cycling, 8 hours of running. A menu that can be enjoyed solo or in relays (in pairs, 4 or 6).

• A simple rule: each team member must do at least one loop of each discipline. Afterwards, it's open relay!

• A great atmosphere: between the Australian-style outings, the night relays, the beach, the encouragement and the 4 a.m. slumps... you're going to experience some things.

• A base camp like at home: food, chill-out zone, showers, music... and maybe even a nap if you have time. (Spoiler: you won't have time.)

Course focus:

• 4 hours of swimming (3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.)

You're going around a 1,000 m loop. At the end of each lap? Australian-style exit, delirious crowd, you're a rock star.

🐟 1 km = 15 points. Suffice to say, it's worth getting wet.

• 12 hours of cycling (7:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m.)

A loop of around twenty kilometers, to be done in ultra mode... or tactical relay. Night falls, legs turn, and strategy makes the difference. (Don't forget your lights!)

🚴 1 km = 1 point. It's going to add up quickly.

• 8 hours of running (7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.)

Last round: a 7 km loop with everything the island has to offer — roads, paths, sand, screaming legs, faltering brain.

🏃 1 km = 4 points. There, every stride counts (and stings).

4 (super) reasons to participate:

• Experience a triathlon like nowhere else: in a team, under the stars, pushing yourself like never before.

• Because it's not every day that you get to do sport in the great outdoors, between the sea and the pine trees, on one of the most beautiful islands in France.

• One day you'll be able to say: "I did the T24. And I finished it."

• Solo (women's / men's), in relays of 2, 4 or 6 (women's / men's / mixed), there's something for everyone and every group.

So, what are you waiting for? Get your wetsuit, chain and sneakers warmed up. The T24 isn't just a race, it's a memory for life.
