Challenge Forte Village Sprint

Challenge Forte Village Sprint

Transition opens for bike check-in from 08:30 to 09:30. The men start at 10:00 and the women at 10:05. The swim is one 750-metre lap in the sea in front of the resort. The bike is two fast laps of 10 kilometres, which the organiser’s course page places on the coastal road at Cala d’Ostia, and the run is two laps totalling 5 kilometres inside the Forte Village Resort itself.

Registration and race bags for the sprint are handed out on Friday 23 October from 15:00 to 19:00, and the sprint briefing, in English and Italian, is at 19:00 that evening. The sprint and kids’ awards follow on Saturday from 18:00 to 19:00, after the afternoon kids’ duathlon, with a pasta party from 19:00. It suits a first triathlon, or a short race for someone who is on the island to watch Sunday’s middle distance.

On Livebib the athlete shares a link to their own broadcast. Family and friends open it in a browser, with no account or app, and see the position on the course line, distance covered and a finish estimate that updates as the race goes. With the run inside the resort, the estimate tells spectators when to walk over to the course. If the phone loses signal, the position is carried forward along the course and marked as estimated.
