The AronaMen Triathlon is a half iron distance international race, where the athletes will have to swim 1.9 km in the Lake Maggiore, ride 90km and run 21 km, to complete this way 112.9 overall – and that is the reason of the figure next to the name of the competition.

The race is open to everybody, both individuals and relay teams, whose members will split the efforts in the three disciplines the competition is made up: swim, bike, run.
