Chris McCormack, Ironman World Champion, ITU World Champion (AUS)

"People are looking for challenges that are tough, in places that are unique and different and fun. The new brand Star Events offers another option for people. I think this is perfect."

"I have had a solid relationship with the organising committee in the past racing their events. I think they have an extensive understanding of what people are looking for in events and more so understand the fine balance of organising a safe yet challenging race. They do an amazing job."

Peter Reid, 3 times Ironman World Champion, TriStar Course Designer (CAN)

"TriStar has created a new and exciting race format for the sport of triathlon with a focus on participation.  I truly believe the new format is a true balance between the three sports. The sport of triathlon is growing so fast yet new ideas are slow to keep up. TriStar has caught up to the demands and will become the leader in triathlon events. Furthermore, TriStar has assembled a crew that has a winning record in providing safe events."

Marcel Zamora, 4 times Ironman France Champion, Duathlon Vice World Champion (ESP)

“When I heard about this endurance event, I wanted to do it right away, and starting with the cycling portion in a drafting race sounds exciting. This will attract duathletes, cyclists and triathletes from across Europe,” says the athlete of Barcelona. “I have never been to Doñana, but I was told the beach is impressive. I have to prepare for the mental challenge, which is a wonderful challenge though. Now I have to recover from the effort in Nice, because I want to be strong when at the starting line at TriStar200 Andalucía.”

Paul Amey, 3 times ITU World Champion (GBR)

"With the global need for more exciting and challenging multisport events around the World, the TriStar events offer something for everyone and not only the best Professional athletes, TriStar is going to pave the way for a new format of multisport event that will entice competitors from all sporting backgrounds and abilities giving the competitor more choice in events they can do throughout the year."

Christel Robin, French Long Distance Triathlon Champion (FRA)

"I really want to get a taste of this new format. For long-distance fans, it is an alternative to be tested, and the race can put pepper in an athlete’s season. I also belive the more there will be initiatives of this kind, the more people will speak about triathlon, which will help in the development and the mediatization of our sport."

François Chabaud, French National Long Distance Triathlon Champion (FRA)

"Today there are many long distance triathlons to choose from around the globe, and triathlon gains popularity every day. There is room for events like TriStar because tey will attract triathletes and athletes from other disciplines, like cycling for example."

Norbert Langbrandtner, Austrian Pro triathlete (AUT)

"The concept breaks traditional rules and brings new momentum to the sport of triathlon, which I like a lot. Ironman races never get boring either, however the limitations of entry spots narrow the possibilities of participation. TriStar offers new opportunities to become part of first class events."

Martina Dogana, Ironman Champion (ITA)

“We athletes have to believe in this new challenge that TriStar200 Andalucía represents, and in this opportunity to grow as a triathlete. Above all that, it is a way to enjoy our sport even more!"

Doug Ulman, President and CEO of the Lance Armstrong Foundation

“Around the world, people are committing to fight cancer in their communities. TriStar200 Andalucia is an example of that commitment. The participants and supporters of the triathlon play a critical role in LIVESTRONG’s ongoing efforts to find innovative ways to raise awareness, fund research and end the stigma about cancer that many survivors face, and we applaud their efforts.”
