Triathlon of the Roses — Lyon

The Triathlon des Roses de Lyon is a charity triathlon held in support of breast cancer research and organised in partnership with Fondation ARC and Lugdunum Triathlon. The event forms part of the national Triathlon des Roses series (Octobre Rose) and is advertised for Sunday 4 October 2026 at Grand Parc Miribel Jonage. Participation is explicitly linked to fundraising for Fondation ARC, making the event both a sporting and charitable gathering that mobilises communities across France. The Lyon edition combines a short-course race format with local volunteer support and on-site services to welcome participants and supporters.

The race is offered as a short-distance triathlon (swim, bike, run) in individual and relay formats and is open under the series' eligibility rules and licence requirements. Distances for the Lyon course are presented as a 200 m swim, an 11 km bike and a 2 km run, with separate entries for individuals and teams of two or three. Fundraising targets are mandatory to start: a minimum of €150 for individual participants and €250 for relay teams, and registration is tied to those commitments. The event highlights accessibility and community fundraising rather than competitive prize incentives, focusing on raising funds and awareness for breast cancer research.
