In order to ‘assure better conditions for everyone’ TriStar Split has been postponed from 27 May to 30 September. The new date later this year also aligns better with the TriStar international and Croatian race calendar.
Since TriStar’s highest priority is to organize safe races and its aim is to offer events of finest quality the organization decided to set the date for TriStar Split’s second edition on 30 September. This date better fits with the municipal agenda of the city of Split, as well as the agenda of the Croatian Triathlon Federation.
The opening ceremony will be held on Saturday 29 September with a humanitarian race called ‘Splitska Milja’ followed by a multisport exhibition in the Star&Co Village and the Race Briefing. On Sunday the race will start at 08:30 local time.
Focused on environmental protection, social responsibility and lots of healthy, active fun, this second edition of the race in Split will not be as challenging as the event’s first outing. The athletes will be able to discover the beauty of the landscape during the bike ride through Split’s hinterland and surrounding villages; and the hilly run from the first edition will be replaced by a flat run along the Adriatic sea on the recently restored promenade, guiding the athletes towards the refreshing pine forest of the Marjan peninsula.
The participants competing in the race will swim in the beautiful harbour, after which they will head to the transition area and go on a 50K recurring loop bike stage. The third and final leg will take the athletes on a 5K run around the beautiful peninsula of Marijan at which point they will turn around and head back to the finish line located before the expo zone on Split’s promenade, just a stone’s throw away from the famous Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace.
New for this year is the TriStar 55.5 format – at half the distance of the main TriStar111 race. Both distances are also offered as a relay.
