For those who love to test their endurance while enjoying the beauty of Bali, it's time to start preparing for one of the most challenging competitions – the Sportel Bali Triathlon-2024. The tournament will take place from February 21 to 25 in Bukit.
It all begins with a swim at the beach of the InterContinental hotel in Jimbaran. Participants in the standard category will swim a distance of 1.5 kilometers, while those in the sprint category will cover 750 meters.
After the swim, participants will embark on a cycling journey. The circular route will start from the InterContinental through Uluwatu Road, Ngurah Rai Road, and finish again in Jimbaran. For standard category participants, the distance will be 40 kilometers, and for the sprint category, it's half that – 20 kilometers.
Finally, the running stage will determine the winner. The start will be at Jimbaran Beach, heading to Bukit Permata, Karang Mas, Bukit Permata again, and returning in a loop to the beach. In the standard category, a 10-kilometer run is required, while for sprinters, it's 5 kilometers.
Peter F. Gonta, CEO of Transvision, one of the event sponsors, expressed confidence that the competition can promote a healthy lifestyle and position Indonesia as a leading destination for sports tourism. "I believe that the potential of triathlon not only enriches the sporting experience but also opens up income-generating opportunities through sports tourism, making a significant contribution to improving Indonesia's image as a major destination for sports enthusiasts worldwide," he said.
