On Wednesday, July 9, the first stage of the Ventspils People’s Triathlon will take place at Staldzene Beach and in the surrounding forests.
What is a triathlon? It is a sport that combines swimming, cycling, and running into a single event. This diverse sport is an excellent form of physical activity that helps develop fitness in a versatile and engaging way!
The distances in the People’s Triathlon are short and suitable for almost anyone who is physically active.
The Ventspils People’s Triathlon is a beginner- and enthusiast-friendly training-type event with short distances, ideal for getting to know and trying out triathlon.
In the first stage, the swimming segment will take place in the sea, at a safe depth. The swimming course will be 150–200 meters long. The cycling segment will be done with mountain bikes (MTB) along the forest roads and trails of Staldzene, covering a distance of 6.8–10.2 km. Each lap is 3.4 km. The running segment will also take place in the Staldzene forest, covering 1.1–2.2 km, with each lap being 1.1 km long.
Come – try it out and enjoy the joy of movement! Adults, youth, and children are all welcome. All you need is basic swimming skills, a bicycle and helmet, and running shoes. Experienced Ventspils triathletes will encourage you, cheer you on, and offer helpful advice!

Stage 1 on July 9 at Staldzene Beach,
