Albi. Urban Triathlon has made a strong comeback

The absence of swimming will not have taken away the charm of this competition. The Albi Urban Triathlon showed a fantastic appearance. The Division 3 races helped a lot in that regard, but the other youth competitors, in relay or open, didn’t do too badly either.

Above all, the cancellation of the swimming event will have had only a small impact on entries since 600 participants took part yesterday. “As normal, and for a complete triathlon, we could have accommodated a maximum of 900 people, so we are at a completely satisfactory number,” notes David Baurès, the president of the Albi Triathlon.

After an amputated but successful 5th edition of Urban, the Albigensian club will now cross their fingers for the triathlon in 2025 as well as the next two. The club and the city of Albi have good opportunities to organize a stage of the Triathlon Grand Prix in the next three years. Competition where the best in the world compete. The French Federation has already arrived for repairs in the episcopal city. It would therefore be possible to see the Olympic medal winners from Paris in the streets of Albigensian in 2025.
