What’s On? Triathlon Races July 23rd & 24th

98 triathlon races across 7 countries this weekend

So many juicy races coming up this weekend, it’s hard to limit myself to just three picks – race Guru – Arif Sidek

“First pick is Ironman Lake Placid. It’s a race that’s both scenic and challenging, which pretty much captures the essence of Ironman. It’s the second oldest Ironman in North America and one of the most popular events in the sport. Scenic. Challenging. Popular. What’s not to like?”

“Next pick is the Triathlon Alpe’d’Huez Long Course. There’s nothing like climbing the legendary Alpe d Huez, scene of some famous battles during the Tour de France. For Tour de France riders, it ends there. For triathletes, you’ve still got to run! Uphill! Awesome stuff.”

“And the final pick goes to the Port Dickson International Triathlon in Malaysia. It’s an Olympic distance race, with a very fast course. It has rolling hills along the is draft legal so there are always huge packs on the bike course, a recipe for a fast time. This is where I got my Personal Best so I will definitely be back looking for more this year.”

“Other notable mentions this week are Castle Howard Olympic Triathlon in UK, where you finish through the castle entrance and the American Zofingen Triathlon, using an already tough duathlon course and making it tougher by adding a swim.”
