In order to make a difference, TriStar111 Monaco partners up with Peace and Sport! Peace and Sport puts Sport and its values at the heart of local development projects undertaken for communities in crisis around the world. During the weekend of sport in Monaco, the Peace and Sport organisation will have 4 teams competing in the Tri Star Monaco to raise awareness on its mission. Among them, 4 Champions for Peace, will participate this year: Sylvia Poll-Ahrens, Wislon Kipketer, Maro Engel and Kaveh Mehrabi. Sous le Haut Patronage de Son Altesse SĂŠrĂŠnissime Le Prince Albert II de Monaco.
The champions for Peace are top-level sports champions who are either still active or have retired from their sports career who wish to help disadvantaged communities through sport. They are role-models, heroes and a source of inspiration for young people throughout the world.
The Champions for Peace initiative was created by Peace and Sport to offer them a structure for communal expression and action to support sports projects at the service of peace and human and social development. They give some of their time, popularity, their sporting experience and skill or resources to help projects for peace-promotion, peace-building through sport and participate in raising awareness among the public. And this is exactly why they will be competing this year at the Tri Star Monaco 2012 !

the revolutionary World Series 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 ten races in 2011, their number increased to 14 in 2012 and the future will see its further rise. Several innovative formats recognized by the ITU offer a perfect complementary solution between Olympic and long-distance triathlons. Fun, Environmental protection and Social responsibility are the three main aspects of all TriStar races. TriStar takes the world‘s most popular sports disciples – swimming, cycling and running – to serve them in the most fun and enjoyable way. New formats attracting amateurs widen the scope of people interested in participation, which makes us witness rookies standing side by side with top triathletes. Beginners are pleased by the possibility to join relay teams where they can focus on one of the three disciplines; 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. More TriStar, more fun! TriStar already unveiled a handful of fresh, fun-oriented new features and there is much more to come. Legalizing drafting on some of the races makes them more thrilling than ever. 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.
