FAQ - Half Triathlon draw

In 2026, access to the Half Triathlon will be by lottery only (free of charge).
This system ensures that every triathlete has a fair chance of obtaining a bib for this highly coveted event.

👉 On this page, we answer all your questions about how the prize draw works and the steps you need to take to validate your entry.

Why draw lots?

Last year, we introduced the Half Triathlon draw system for the first time. It allows all enthusiasts who want to take up the challenge to have an equal chance of obtaining a race number, without the speed of connection or registration creating an imbalance.

In view of this success, we have decided to maintain the draw for the Half in 2026.

For theXtrem Triathlon, we're reverting to adirect entry system, better suited to this particularly demanding format and ensuring that every bib goes to fully committed athletes.

Yes, it's quite possible. The Half Triathlon is based on a draw, while theXtrem Triathlon is based on direct registration (from November 6, 2025, subject to availability). You can therefore register for the Xtrem if you are not selected for the Half.

Those not selected at random will receive an email on November 6, 2025, informing them that they have been placed on the waiting list and therefore still have a chance to participate.
