Paris Super Sprint Triathlon

Paris Super Sprint Triathlon takes the world's most romantic city and makes it accessible to the world's newest triathletes. The 400m swim, 10km bike, 2.5km run format is short enough to be achievable and Parisian enough to be memorable.

The swim takes place in a Parisian lake — not the Seine, mercifully for first-timers — at 22°C. The lake is calm, clean, and surrounded by the kind of manicured parkland that Parisians treat as their outdoor living room. At 400m, the swim is over in seven or eight minutes, which is barely enough time to appreciate the setting but long enough to feel like a real swim.

The 10km bike rolls through Paris's streets on closed roads. Even at 10km, the Parisian boulevard experience is transformative — riding past the trees of the Bois de Vincennes or along the Seine's quays with zero traffic and a race number pinned to your chest.

The 2.5km run through Parisian parkland completes the circuit. It's short, sharp, and surprisingly hard at race intensity. But the finish — in a city that celebrates small pleasures as enthusiastically as grand gestures — feels like a genuine achievement.

Paris Super Sprint understands something fundamental: the first triathlon matters more than the fastest. The race is designed to make that first experience beautiful, achievable, and distinctly Parisian. The café crème afterwards is non-negotiable.
