“ It is the pace of a short course event, with an extra hour of racing. It is seriously hard and I love it “ (Chris McCormack ITU & IronmanWorldchampion)
TriStar is an international triathlon event series held over various new distances. It was launched in September 2009 with TriStar200 Andalucía in Spain and has rapidly grown ever since. Several innovative formats recognized by the ITU offer a perfect complementary solution between Olympic and long-distance triathlons. TriStar is based on fun, environmental protection and social responsibility. Beginners are pleased by the possibility to join Relay teams; professionals can use TriStar as a preparation for long-distance races. Shorter swim and run distances enable shortened recovery times, giving athletes the possibility to participate in more races than before. Giving the possibility to race in teams of five brings the team spirit back to a sport that was for a long time perceived as individual.
Choose your favourite distance, ...and then divide it by 10 for the run and by 100 for the swim. For example, 1km of swimming, 100km of cycling and 10km of running add up to TriStar111.

There is more to swimming than just doing lap after lap and turning round when you reach the other end of the pool. You can swim in places with no walls - open water. Lakes, oceans and rivers offer a far greater scope for change. Go to your local beach for today’s workout instead of more laps in the pool. Depending on the reasons you swim, you may find it more rewarding and quite simply just as efficient to stay in shape. Everybody can swim but very few take part in races. StarMile along with sponsors and media-partners will elaborate a swimming-event for friends and family alike, which of course, is fun for everybody.

StarMile focuses on Long Distance and Open Water Swimming. The “Mile” is a common name in sporting events and roughly a distance of 1,6 km.

As an athlete, you have to take care of your body every day. As a triathlete you enjoy swimming in clear waters, pedaling through natural landscapes and breathing fresh air while running. That’s why Star Events are committed to environmental protection in collaboration with the 4vita.org association. Take care about nature as much as you care about your body.
Respectful races for both your Health and your Environment....for years to come.
