Swim course

The one-loop 1.9 km (1.2 mile) ROKA swim course takes places in the calm waters of the Grand Canal of the château de Versailles, offering a majestic start.

Bike course

Dive into the unspoiled landscapes of the Chevreuse Valley: over 90 km, this course delivers an unforgettable experience, blending athletic challenge with breathtaking scenery. Tackle the iconic Côte de la Vacheresse climb (1.6 km at 4.6%), glide through the enchanting roads surrounding the Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay (6 km of pristine nature), and take on the famous hill des 17 Tournants (1.3 km at 5.7%), a must‑ride for local cycling enthusiasts. Alternating between punchy elevation changes and fast, flowing sections, this dynamic and varied route invites you to push your limits while savoring every moment.

Run course

The three-loop 21.1 km (13.1 mile) HOKA run course takes athletes through a route that is as demanding as it is historic. You will first run along the Pièce d’Eau des Suisses, enjoying a spectacular view of the Château de Versailles, before crossing the Potager du Roi, an iconic jewel of Versailles’ heritage. The course then leads you through the city’s historic streets, passing through the heart of the École Spéciale d’Architecture and in front of the Salle du Jeu de Paume, the symbolic birthplace of the French Revolution in 1789. Finally, to close this timeless experience, you will reach the Avenue de Paris for a spectacular finish, with the Château de Versailles as your backdrop. A grand finale worthy of the effort… and of the setting.
