Triathlon «SUNRISE SPRINT Vietnam 2027 – Da Nang»

   Sprint distance is the shortest honest way to find out whether triathlon is for you: a sea swim, a flat bike leg, then a run finishing on the sand. All of it fits into one morning, and you do not need half a year of training before you dare stand on the line.

   The race sits inside the Da Nang race week and is described by the organisers as suiting both seasoned athletes keeping fit between bigger events and newcomers to the sport. That is what shapes the course: fast and flat, with nowhere to lose the race to terrain.

   The course and entry formats:

• — a 750 m beach swim with a rolling start
• — 20 km bike leg on a fast, flat course
• — a 5 km run, finishing on white and yellow sand
• — individual entry, or a relay team of two to three members

   It suits runners who want to add two more disciplines, triathletes who need a short race to hold their rhythm, and groups of friends or colleagues who would rather split the three legs as a relay than have one person cover all of them.

   The swim uses a rolling start: participants self-seed by their own predicted finish time on race morning and wait in the matching start area. That keeps slower swimmers from being rolled over by a faster crowd in the first few metres.

   Entry comes at two levels, individual and relay team. The organisers say the 2027 Athlete Guide will be published closer to race day, so the detailed schedule is still to come. Either way the swim opens as the light comes up, so add getting out of bed early to your training.

   Three disciplines, one morning, one beach. Choose individual entry or call two friends.
