ABOUT THE START
The race that opens the triathlon season in Russia
A fast, spectacular and affordable start is the perfect way to break into the triathlon season. The 1/8 format is suitable for both beginners and experienced athletes, and the atmosphere of the TRIATHLON LEAGUE & IRONSTAR makes this day truly special.
A team of three people runs the 1/8 distance simultaneously at all stages, consistently showing tactics in each discipline, and everyone needs to be at the finish line at one moment — the finish time is calculated by the third person (the last team member to cross the finish line)
If one or two team members are unable to continue the race, the remaining participant can finish it outside the competition within the established limits.
