Trichallenge mamaia, 8th edition

On September 10, 2016, Mamaia resort will host the 8th edition of TriChallenge, the largest triathlon competition in Eastern Europe and the Balkans.

The resort puts on sportswear and welcomes the largest triathlon competition in Eastern Europe and the Balkans in its center. Lake Siutghiol, Mamaia Boulevard (from Năvodari to Aqua Magic), the Rex parking lot, the promenade and the beach, all will be enlivened by over 1500 participants who will swim, pedal and run.

Triathlon harmoniously combines the 3 sports disciplines (swimming, cycling and running). It is not only a sport, but also a lifestyle. Triathletes are said to be a special community where friendship and sportsmanship are highly valued.

For 7 years, the event has been offering rich sporting experiences to all participants who choose to spend a weekend in motion with beautiful people who share the same passion. So far, over 400 participants have already registered.

In 2016, the challenge is being taken further, both nationally and internationally, within the TriChallenge. It will be a complete sporting event from all points of view, for all participants (professionals and amateurs from the country and abroad).

TriChallenge will take place this year as a festival, with three components:

The competition dedicated to amateurs and professional athletes at the Super League
TriKids - aquathlon and duathlon for children
Evening cross-country race – “Beach Run”

Competition for amateurs and professional athletes

Amateurs will have the opportunity to participate in the event that suits them best, both in individual and relay races. It is already a tradition for TriChallenge Mamaia to conclude the series of road triathlon competitions within the Federației Române de Triatlon circuit (Romanian Triathlon Series), and the Mamaia event is the Grand Final.

Probele The running and cycling races take place on the road, in maximum safety conditions, with traffic stopped, on a 100% flat surface and with different routes (on Mamaia Boulevard), and the swimming takes place in Lake Siutghiol, making it very suitable for those who want to participate in their first triathlon.
