Triathlon de Paris 2027: date, course and training plan
The Paris Triathlon (officially the Garmin Triathlon de Paris since 2015) has been based at the Parc de la Villette since 2019: you swim in the Canal de l’Ourcq, then ride on closed roads through central Paris, from the Seine embankments to the Bois de Boulogne. The last edition published by the organiser was held on 24 and 25 June 2023, with more than 5,500 triathletes and duathletes on the start line. Since then the official website has not been updated and the organiser, A.S.O., no longer lists the event among its races: no new edition has been announced.

The 2023 course
Start, transition and finish at the Parc de la Villette. The swim (1,500 m) is in the Canal de l’Ourcq, heading towards the park. The bike (40 km) follows the Canal Saint-Martin down to the Bastille, runs along the Seine on the Voie Georges-Pompidou past the Hôtel de Ville, the Louvre and Concorde, passes the foot of the Eiffel Tower, crosses the Bois de Boulogne (km 20) and rides up Avenue Foch to the Arc de Triomphe (km 25). Back via the Trocadéro, Concorde (km 30), the Bastille and the Canal Saint-Martin (km 35). The run (11 km) is an out-and-back along the Canal de l’Ourcq towards Pantin and Bobigny.
What the race asks of your training
Swimming in a canal
The swim is in the Canal de l’Ourcq, with wave starts every ten minutes. A wetsuit is mandatory below 16 °C and banned above 24.5 °C: a few open-water sessions, with and without a wetsuit, avoid being caught out on race day.
A city bike course full of surges
The 40 km cross Paris on closed roads: Canal Saint-Martin, Bastille, the Seine embankments, Concorde, the Eiffel Tower, the Bois de Boulogne, the Arc de Triomphe. Bends and squares come one after another: bike sessions with repeated accelerations prepare you better than long steady rides. Road, city and mountain bikes are all accepted.
An 11 km run, not 10
In 2023, the Olympic-distance run was 11 km, an out-and-back along the Canal de l’Ourcq towards Pantin and Bobigny. Stretching the late bike-run bricks a little gets your legs used to that extra kilometre.
A 7 am start
The first waves started at 7 am, on Saturday for the S as on Sunday for the Olympic distance. Doing a few key sessions early in the morning, testing your breakfast and warm-up, avoids surprises on race day.

Why this plan works
Science-based periodisation
Base → build → specific → taper, with a recovery week every 3 to 4 weeks. Load goes up, but never two hard weeks in a row without a breather.
Paces, not vague feelings
Every session has target zones (pace, HR) computed from your MAS or a reference performance. A MAS test is built into the plan if you don't know yours.
Three disciplines, one load
Swim, bike and run are planned together: brick sessions, key sessions spread out, and a coherent total load week after week.
A plan that listens
After each session you rate how it felt (RPE). Too hard? The plan eases what follows. Skipped a session? It reschedules or absorbs it.
On your watch
On Garmin with the Endu app, on COROS by direct sync: the guided workout shows up on your wrist, step by step.

Frequently asked questions
- When is the 2027 Paris Triathlon?
- No date has been announced. The official website stops at the 2023 edition, held on 24 and 25 June at the Parc de la Villette, with the Olympic distance on Sunday 25 June. The organiser, A.S.O., no longer lists the event among its races.
- How do you enter the Paris Triathlon?
- Not at the moment: no registration is open and no new edition has been announced. The official website is where a next edition would be announced.
- Where is the Paris Triathlon swim?
- In the Canal de l’Ourcq, at La Villette, since 2017. In 2023, the Parc de la Villette was the start, the transition area and the finish. In 2013, the ban on water activities in the Seine had led to the event being cancelled.
- Triathlon de Paris: how many weeks of preparation?
- For an athlete at intermediate level, Endu builds a 15-week preparation. If your race is closer, the plan compresses phases while keeping the taper; if it's further away, it lengthens the preparation, and when the gap is large the preparation starts right away, gently and at your current volume, before building up.
- Is this plan well built?
- Pass at Endu’s plan check, the same as for any plan: 19 of 19 checks passed. A 15-week build (recommended minimum: 8); a longest run never more than 8% above the previous month’s; 83% of the time at easy effort; a taper cutting volume by 66% in race week. The rules and their sources are public on endu.fr/en/controle-technique.
- How many sessions per week?
- This example has 5 sessions per week. You choose 4 to 7 training days and the exact days (e.g. Tue, Thu, Sat, Sun): the plan sticks to them.
- I'm a beginner, is this plan for me?
- The plan adapts to your declared level (beginner to semi-pro): starting volume, progression and intensity change. Endu also offers a "Discovery" mode without a race to build a base first.
- Can I follow sessions on my watch?
- Yes, on Garmin and COROS. On Garmin, the Endu app (Connect IQ Store) shows today’s session and starts it as a guided workout. On COROS, link your account from your profile: your running, trail and cycling sessions land in the watch calendar. Other brands are not supported yet.
- How much does it cost?
- 14-day free trial, then €7.99/month with no commitment or €59.88/year (€4.99/month). Unlimited objectives and sports.
