The IRONMAN 70.3 Nice bike route is a hilly 90-kilometre loop that climbs from the Mediterranean into the southern Alps. Starting in Nice, you’ll ride coastal roads before heading inland and tackling a major ascent: the Col de Vence, which brings the challenge with an average gradient of 6.6 percent. After summiting near Coursegoules, you’ll descend and head back to Nice with only minor rollers and flat sections over the final 46 kilometres.

And we’ll provide tips for creating a beginner triathlon workout plan that will equip you to start your journey with confidence and cross that finish line with pride.
A sprint triathlon features a 750m swim, 20km bike ride, and 5km run, making it a more accessible challenge than longer races. It typically takes from under an hour for elites to around two hours for beginners, with training helping participants achieve their goals at their own pace.
Triathlon blends three basic actions—swim, bike, and run—into race formats that stretch from quick twenty‑minute efforts to multi‑day epics. That spread keeps the sport fresh; once you conquer one goal, a new distance is waiting.
