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!
