Middle Distance (70.3) Triathlons in Italy

Italy's middle distance triathlon calendar draws athletes to some of the country's most striking coastlines and cities. Covering 1.9 km of swimming, 90 km on the bike and a 21.1 km run, the 70.3 format is a serious test that rewards solid all-round preparation without demanding the full commitment of a long-distance build. Races are spread across spring and autumn, with events taking place from April through to October. The calendar spans both IRONMAN and Challenge Family events, meaning routes, atmospheres and race-day formats vary considerably from venue to venue. Whether you are drawn to the Adriatic shores near Cervia and Jesolo, the Ligurian setting of Sanremo, or the island scenery of Sardinia around Alghero, Italy offers a genuine range of backdrops for racing at this distance. Sportspal brings all of them together so you can compare and choose without visiting each organiser's website separately.
