The triathlon Olympic distance of Milan. A triathlon included entirely within the confines of the city, just as the most important European metropolises. Triathlon is a sport that combines three of the endurance disciplines: swimming, cycling and running. Specifically, the Olympic triathlon consists of: a swim test of 1500 meters, a cycling race of 40 km, a run of 10 miles to the finish line.
Tri@MI will be the central event in the weekend of the end of July (25-26-27), but there will be many collateral events in these three days in Milan: from Friday, will start the party at the Arena in Milan, with secondary races, to make known the sport and his “younger sisters”, also dedicated to children. And a party in the village of Tri@MI.
MASTERS really believes in the new disciplines that could be called “athletic outdoor” and believes strongly in a concept that could be defined “urban trail”, which is still not widespread in Italy, but of great effect in Countries such as France.
A year ago, the first edition, surprised everyone: Tri@MI, or triathlon in Milan, passed the test by collecting the consent of 350 triathletes at the start; swim in the Naviglio Grande, ride in Corso Sempione and the run in the park of Castello Sforzesco, we can say, has its own charm. If a year ago they were 350 at the start, Sunday, July 27, 2014, the organizers are expecting a higher turnout, and to maintain a high quality level of the competition was set to a maximum of 500 entries.
“Organizing a race in the city involves substantial organizational efforts – said Marco Zaffaroni – but we are confident that Milan is ready to welcome Olympic triathlon in a city just like the big European cities.“
