Be Your Own Hero: Ocean Lava Race Series - A Triathlon Designed for Triathletes

Triathlons are one of the most challenging and rewarding sports out there. They test your strength, endurance, and determination like no other sport can. But for many triathletes, the experience of participating in a race can be overwhelming, with large crowds, unfamiliar surroundings, and a sense of being lost in the crowd. That's why we created Ocean Lava Race Series - a triathlon race designed by triathletes for triathletes.

A Familiar and Fair Alternative

Ocean Lava Race Series is a celebration of active lifestyle and family. Our aim is to offer participants a familiar and fair alternative to the existing triathlon events in a small but emblematic place! We know that triathletes come in all shapes and sizes, and that everyone has different goals and aspirations. That's why we've designed our race to be inclusive, welcoming, and supportive of all participants. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time triathlete, you'll feel at home at Ocean Lava.

The Perfect Location - Cyprus

In 2023, Ocean Lava Cyprus will take place on Sunday the 8th of October, offering Sprint & Olympic distances for both individual and team entries. The race will be held in the heart of the local community, providing a unique and exciting experience for all participants. We believe that the best triathlons are those that are held in small, picturesque places that truly capture the spirit of the sport. That's why we've chosen Cyprus as the location for our race. With its beautiful beaches, clear waters, and warm climate, Cyprus is the perfect place to hold a triathlon.

Fast and Challenging Course

The course itself is designed to be fast and challenging, with a swim leg in the Mediterranean sea, a bike leg through the scenic countryside, and a run leg along the coast. The sprint distance is a 750m swim, 20km bike and 5km run. The Olympic distance is a 1.5km swim, 40km bike, and 10km run. The race is open to all levels of athletes, whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out.

A Focus on Community

One of the things that sets Ocean Lava Race Series apart from other triathlons is our focus on community. We believe that triathlons are not just about competing, but about coming together as a community to celebrate the sport and the people who love it. That's why we've created a race that is truly inclusive and welcoming of all participants. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time triathlete, you'll feel at home at Ocean Lava.

Team Entries Available

We believe that the best way to experience a triathlon is to do it as a team. That's why we offer team entries for the sprint and Olympic distances. Whether you're racing with friends, family, or coworkers, there's nothing quite like the feeling of crossing the finish line together. We understand that sometimes competing as an individual can be daunting, especially for first-time triathletes, and we want to provide an option for those who would like to share the experience with others.

Training Programs and Clinics

In addition to the race itself, we also offer a variety of training programs, clinics, and other events to help you prepare for the big day. Our training programs are designed to cater to all levels of athletes, whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out. Our clinics cover everything from swim technique to bike maintenance, and are taught by experienced coaches and triathletes.

So if you're a triathlete looking for a new challenge, or if you're just starting out and want to experience the thrill of a triathlon, come and join us at the Ocean Lava Race Series. Be your own hero, and experience the camaraderie, excitement, and sense of accomplishment that only a triathlon can provide.

We'll see you at the starting line!
