RACE DESCRIPTION
The start for all distances takes place in front of the transition zone, and the running segment is held along the coastal road of Artemida. Athletes start running to the 1,250m turnaround point, where a sign and a race official will indicate the route. They then return via the same path.
After completing the first running segment, athletes enter the transition zone, change clothes and equipment in their personal basket, and head to the beach for the swimming portion. The swimming segment is counterclockwise, with athletes passing the buoys on their left shoulder, forming a rectangular course of 1,000m. Entry and exit from the water must be done through a designated “gate” marked by two buoys near the shore.
Upon exiting the water, athletes enter the transition zone for the second time, change in their personal basket, and begin the second running segment, which is identical to the first. Returning to the transition zone, they complete the race by finishing under the arch.
Note: If the water temperature is below 22°C, the race will start with the 1,000m swimming segment, followed by a 5km run (2 loops of 2.5km), requiring only one transition.
