Tours, Centre-Val de Loire, France
Château country racing: river swim, rolling vineyard bike and a flat riverside run.
1.9 km swim in the Loire river channel at Tours, calm and typically wetsuit legal.
Rolling one-lap bike through the Loire Valley vineyards and châteaux country, gently undulating.
Flat two-lap run along the Loire riverbanks and through the centre of Tours.
Actual monthly averages from the last 3 years (Open-Meteo). Real race day may vary.
Water temp uses athlete-reported values first, then official race data, then the marine archive (sea swims, measured at the nearest offshore point). Values tagged est. are modelled from recent air temperature for lakes and rivers, where no observational data exists.
Beautiful course. Appreciated the indoor transition, and finish line. Scenery on the bike was amazing--fun to ride through the small villages and hearing the encouragement from spectators.
