descrizione
The Half Triathlon distance features a shorter swim leg, while offering the same thrilling experience of crossing Lake Iseo in the middle of the night.
The 145 km cycling course, with 2,790 m of elevation gain, follows the same route as the Xtrem distance up to Ponte di Legno, tackling the legendary Aprica and Mortirolo passes without taking on the Gavia Pass.
The 22 km run course, highly undulating and featuring 850 m of elevation gain, winds through the area around Ponte di Legno and along the valley floor. The route passes through the hamlets of Zoanno, Precasaglio and Villa Dalegno, then crosses to the opposite side of the valley through the centre of Temù. From here it climbs to the Valbione area (1,500 m a.s.l.) before descending back to Ponte di Legno, where the finish line is located.
SWIM COURSE 2.8 KM
The start is located in Predore, on the opposite shore from Iseo. Athletes will complete a 2.8 km lake crossing to Iseo, where the first transition area, T1, is located.
Competitors will experience the same adrenaline as the Xtrem Triathlon, with nighttime boat transport and a start at first light of dawn. The swim exit point is marked by a powerful beacon pointing skyward.
BIKE COURSE 144 KM - 2700 m D+
The run course, particularly varied and demanding, covers 22 km with 850 m of elevation gain, crossing the Ponte di Legno area and the valley floor. The route passes through the hamlets of Zoanno, Precasaglio and Villa Dalegno, then moves to the opposite side of the valley through the centre of Temù. From here the climb begins towards the Valbione area, at 1,500 m a.s.l., before the final descent that brings athletes back to Ponte di Legno, where the finish line is located.
RUN COURSE 22 KM - 850m+
Ecco la traduzione in inglese, con uno stile chiaro e coerente con un regolamento / descrizione tecnica:
The first part of the course is shared with the Xtreme Triathlon route. At km 14, the course splits: there will be no climb to Valbione, and athletes will continue directly to the refreshment station in the town center of Ponte di Legno.
The second part of the ascent to Passo del Tonale is again shared with the Xtreme Triathlon route.
Half Triathlon finish at Ponte di Legno.
Total elevation gain: 850 m D+.
