Published on April 27, 2023 by Marie-Laure

A major first in France and for the city of Brive-La-Gaillarde, the 24th Military Triathlon World Championship will be organized at Causse Lake on May 7 and 8, 2023. Corrèze's know-how was therefore recognized to host this event organized for the first time on French soil. It must be said that Lac du Causse has become the scene of several major sporting events over the years, allowing it to be one of the sites offered to French and foreign delegations for the preparation of their teams for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. !

This international sporting event brings together 300 athletes representing 22 nations and takes place in Brive with the support of the Brive Defense Base and the 126th Infantry Regiment.

In close collaboration with the City of Brive and the French Triathlon Federation, 200 staff, markers, volunteers, officials and health personnel are mobilizing with the armies and the National Gendarmerie to make this international meeting a success.
