Winter triathlon in Europe

Planning your race

Winter triathlon combines running, mountain biking on snow and cross-country skiing. Races are usually held in mountain regions and depend heavily on snow cover and weather. Courses may be adjusted or sections replaced at short notice as conditions change. Shortly before race day, check the organiser’s latest updates, permitted equipment and whether classic or freestyle skiing is required. With only a few events each season, it is worth planning travel and accommodation early.
