An extreme and magnificent course

Embrunman combines three formidable events: 3.8 km of swimming in the waters of Lake Serre-Ponçon, 186 km of cycling, including the legendary ascent of the Col de l’Izoard, and a 42.195 km marathon.

With over 5,400 meters of positive elevation gain, this course tests the physical and mental endurance of triathletes, while offering breathtaking panoramas.

A human and collective adventure

“Embrunman is not just a triathlon. It’s a human adventure, a communion between athletes, volunteers, and a region. For 40 years, our greatest pride has been seeing men and women cross the finish line with stars in their eyes.” — Gérald Iacono, founder and race director.
