1,9 km swim – 90 km bike – 21,1 km run
The Challenge Montpellier middle distance relay triathlon crosses splendid landscapes :

- A bike course that is both technical and fast, taking the most beautiful roads in the hinterland of Montpellier.
- A running race with an urban route filled with enthusiastic spectators.
On the Middle Distance, a relay race is open to teams. It’s up to you to form a Team of 3 athletes (1 swimmer, 1 cyclist and a runner).
To have fun ! To perform! Or for Team Building!
“We are looking forward to welcoming athletes to the first edition of Challenge Montpellier, an event set up by triathletes for triathletes. A swim in the Mediterranean Sea, bike courses that allow you to discover the varied landscapes of the Hérault and a run through the new districts of Montpellier along the smallest river in France for a festive arrival at the Zénith Sud de Montpellier”.
Bertrand Mulot (Race Director)
