Rarely does a sport test human ability to the extent that the triathlon does. Only the most prepared athletes can contend with the limits of their own abilities, the abilities of the competitors around them and all of the challenges that nature puts in front of them. This is especially true when they have to swim 78 lengths of a 25 meter pool, ride half the length of an average “Tour de France” stage, and then, after all of that run a half marathon.  That is the challenge that every TITANS - European Triathlon League race brings; and the first of the races will be held in Zagreb on June 9, 2013.

 

On June 9, 2013, the first of TITANS - European Triathlon League races will take place in the city of Zagreb and its surroundings. The course will take competitors through attractive Zagreb locations, such as Jarun lake, historic Gornji and Donji Grad, and all the way to nearby picturesque city of Samobor and back.
