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. While there were four races in 2010, their number increased to ten in 2011... and more to come very soon! A simple motto “Yes, you can!” sums up the idea of sport events that are easily accessible for everyone with the desire to participate. 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. TriStar comes to break down the old-fashioned triathlon mindset and make everyone enjoy their race in a new, exciting way.
1km SWIM 100km BIKE 10km RUN
*Choose your favourite cycling 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.

SWIMMING Events
1. 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. This is the perfect figure for a long distance open water competition. Main objective here is to capture a greater audiance for Swimming sports in the general public. 2. 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. 3. 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 Nevis
2,5miles (4km) > MAR 2012 The swim is across the channel between Nevis and St.Kitts in the beautiful setting of the Caribbean. The race start is at Oualie Beach on Nevis and the finish is at Cockleshell Bay on St.Kitts. The distance is 2.5miles (4km). This is an incredible experience.
