“The development of triathlon in Estonia in the last few years has been unbelievably fast thanks to different role models and partners; at more than one occasion competitions have been sold out,” said race director Ain-Alar Juhanson.

“Taking part in longer triathlon distances needs consistent preparation, which is why I recommend to register quickly and set yourself athletic goals. This helps the participant, triathlon clubs, coaches as well as the organizers of different sports events” added Juhanson.
