Nireas Triathlon welcomes you to Mouflon CyMan Extreme Triathlon

We have been organising triathlon events for years and this allowed us to understand many things about the triathlon world. When we see the potential in an exciting project, we work to ensure that you will also get the same emotions, if not bigger, when taking part.

Mouflon CyMan Extreme Triathlon is a half distance extreme triathlon, a great sport performance, but above all, it will be for all of you a special occasion to get emotional and feel part of a unique experience.

We didn’t choose the location by chance. The Start, the Finish and the entire course is the perfect combination for great sport performance and a surprising experience. Here you will find epic climbs and the magic of amazing scenery. Once you cross the finish line, you will be amazed by the hospitality of Platres community, and you will get emotional with the deep feeling of being part of this magic.

It will not be an easy race considering its technical difficulties, and you will need to prepare for it with care and dedication, without underestimating any aspects.

If you are brave enough to take part in the race, you will live unique and unforgettable emotions. During the race you may find yourself amazed at your resilience and your capacity to overcome huge difficulties.
