You are very welcome at the Triathlon International de Deauville. Please contact the organisation staff by email: contact@triathlondeauville.com so you can be identified as a parasport participant (with dedicated rules and ranking), and to see if any special arrangements need to be set up.

Feed zones are planned according to races. The precise positioning and composition of the feed zones will be communicated later on the routes page.

Bib pick-up takes place on the “Boulevard de la Mer” in Deauville, at the Tri Expo village.

To find out the timings dedicated (different for each competition), consult the program by clicking here.

You must bring along the bib pass (that you will receive by email 2 weeks before the race) and your passport/identity card.

If everything is in order, you will be handed over:

It is important that triathletes feel supported during competitions.

The event organiser therefore allocates bib numbers once the registration platform has closed, so the bike park placing may be done in a logical way and they can:

1/ Group together members of the same club (if the club is indicated when registering)

2/ Group together staff of the same company (via the company procedure – cf. here above)

3/ Maintain the chronological order of registration: if friends register one after the other, they are more likely to be nearby in the bike park.

To enable a good swim for everyone, the swim start will take place in free-to-choose sections: PROFESSIONAL – EXPERT – INTERMEDIATE – BEGINNER.

However, please do not worry about timing: ranking and timing will be done in real-time, as the stop-watch will automatically be set off when the competitor crosses the start line.

According to the races, the start will be a mass start by waves or a rolling start.
