12th EDF Alpe d’Huez Triathlon – 24th-28th July 2017

The EDF Alpe d’Huez Triathlon (www.alpetriathlon.com) is, for many, one of the bucket-list races of the European calendar.

We’ve had the pleasure of attending the event several times in recent years, and it really does live up to its status. The Long Course event bike course is surely one of the most beautiful in the world, and the sights will take your breath away… if you have any left after ‘enjoying’ the terrain that is!

Schedule of Events

The Alpe d’Huez Triathlon offers something for everyone, with several events over the week:

  • Duathlon – Tuesday 25th July 2017
  • Children’s Triathlon – Wednesday 26th July 2017
  • Long Distance Triathlon – Thursday 27th July 2017
  • Short Distance Triathlon – Friday 28th July 2017
