Olympic Distance Triathlon

An Olympic Distance Triathlon is a competitive event that combines three sports: swimming, cycling, and running. It typically covers a 1.5-kilometer (about 0.9 miles) swim, a 40-kilometer (25 miles) bike ride, and a 10-kilometer (6.2 miles) run. Athletes complete these segments back-to-back in one continuous race, testing their endurance, speed, and stamina. It is a standard distance used in Olympic competitions, offering a challenging yet manageable format for trained athletes, and is popular among amateur and professional triathletes worldwide.
