Formats and distances

Choose your favourite cycling distance, and then divide it by 10 for the run and by 100 for the swim. For example, 1km of swimming, 100km of cycling and 10km of running add up to TriStar111.

Star Production SARL, the company behind the fast growing TriStar Series of triathlons has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the International Triathlon Union (ITU) which will integrate TriStar distances (222, 111, 55.5, 33.3, 11.1) into ITU official regulations. Positioning as an international series, TriStar is the first and unique private label to receive this international recognition from Triathlon’s world governing body.

Find your favorite distance and have fun in racing one of the following events:

0,1km swim * 10km cycle * 1km run * total distance: 11,1km

0,3km swim * 30km cycle * 3km run * total distance: 33,3km

0,5km swim * 50km cycle * 5km run * total distance: 55,5km

1km swim * 100km cycle * 10km run * total distance: 111km

2km swim * 200km cycle * 20km run * total distance: 222km

TriStar200: 169km cycle * 1km swim * 30km run * total distance: 200km

The TriStar200 distance is part of the "TriStar® open format" category. The open format can be adapted as local and geographical conditions suggest. In this TriStar® open format category, even the succession of the three disciplines may be altered (for example in TriStar200 Andalucía, athletes cycled first, then swum and ran at the end, instead of doing a classical swim/bike/run race.)

The new worldwide brand for Triathlon events attracting a broad range of sports enthusiasts on a team-spirit - fun factor basis and the overwhelmingly positive message will generate masses of participants at our professionally organized events.

Building on experience, we will pursue the idea with STAR EVENTS®.

Whereas the approach of other triathlon events is focused on Triathlon professionals and their continuous battle for better results, the new TriStar® Triathlon series will be different and will attract new target groups with a surprisingly fresh approach. The open-minded, pleasant and charity-related approach will get friends, families and celebrities to start a Triathlon-Team.

Believing in “YES, YOU CAN!” the new TriStar® series has the potential for attracting amazingly large numbers to take part.

The TriStar kick-off-event took place on 12 September 2009 in Andalucía, Spain. The fun race was labeled TriStar200, which means a total distance of 200km had to be accomplished while cycling, swimming and running (in this order!).
