Triathlon Sprint Silca Cup

The Triathlon returns to Lake Santa Croce, where athletes will compete in three well-established disciplines: swimming, cycling, and running. Competitors must transition seamlessly from one segment to another, demonstrating excellent physical abilities such as strength and endurance, as well as good coordination skills, needing to express completely different sports gestures during their effort, such as swimming, cycling, and running. Thus, triathlon is not, as some might think, the sum of three sports but a true sport in its own right.

Sport:
Swimming: 750m (1 lap);
Cycling: 19.3km (2 laps);
Running: 5km (2 laps).

The magnificent territory of Alpago will provide the backdrop for the event, particularly the Lake Santa Croce. The lake, the largest in the province of Belluno and the second in Veneto, is a natural lake formed by a landslide that closed the Val Lapisina, blocking the flow of the Piave River towards Vittorio Veneto and creating the Sella del Fadalto. Located in the Alpago area between Farra d'Alpago, Puos d'Alpago, and Ponte nelle Alpi, at the border with the province of Treviso, it is a body of water that reflects the mountains of Alpago and Nevegal on its crystal-clear surface.
