Split will host its first TriStar triathlon race on 18 September 2011.

It’s the first time a TriStar has been held in Croatia and after swimming a kilometre around Split harbour, competitors will take a 100km bike ride through Split’s scenic hinterland and some typical Croatian villages. Then they will finish with a 10km run around the centre of the city, ending at a finish line on the Rive – just a stone’s throw away from Diocletian’s Palace.
