Triathlon of the Roses — Issoire 2026

The "Triathlon des Roses" in Issoire is a charitable triathlon held to raise funds for breast cancer research, organised in partnership with Fondation ARC and local partners. The event combines short-distance triathlon competition with a fundraising requirement, emphasising solidarity and group participation as much as sporting performance. The Issoire edition at the Centre Aqualudique Agglo Pays d'Issoire offers individual (women-only) and relay formats and directs all collected donations to cancer research.

Distances for the main format published by the organiser are short: a 150 m pool swim, about 9 km of cycling and a 2.5 km run, typically run as an XS / time-trial style triathlon. Participation is conditional on meeting fundraising minima (minimum €150 for individual entries; €250 minimum per relay team), with dedicated fundraising pages and donor information provided on the event site. Practical information such as venue facilities, relay rules and registration pages are published on the event homepage and linked fundraising pages.
