Lose yourself in the Landscapes
Slovenia sits at the crossroads of four vastly contrasting landscapes: The Alps, the Mediterranean, the Pannonian Plain, and Karst. The landscape is striking and diverse, with breathtaking natural features making the country the perfect playground for a range of outdoor pursuits. Slovenian Istria is a stunning stretch of coast along the Mediterranean, and home to this exotic race.
The one-loop 1.9 km (1.2 mile) swim course will start along the coast of Žusterna in the Bay of Semedela. Start straight ahead, followed by a turn to the left and swim parallel to the shore before you turn back towards the exit with two more left turns.
The one-loop 90 km (56 mile) bike course leads through the old town of Koper and then to Ankaran. In Milje the course will cross the state border into Italy. When descending back to Črni Kal athletes can catch a stunning view over the Gulf of Trieste.
The one-loop 21.1 km (13.1 mile) run course starts at Koper’s delightful medieval center and then continues around the Škocjan bay natural reserve and on to the picturesque coastal road to Izola and back. The course is completely flat, with the highest point barely above sea level.
