Garmin supporting supertri E World Triathlon Championship ...

The supertri E World Triathlon Championship powered by Zwift will be backed by the Garmin product ecosystem when it returns on April 13, 2024.

Garmin has been a key partner to supertri E (formerly Arena Games) for the past three years, and is extending its support to again be at the heart of race day at the London Aquatic Centre, beginning the moment the athletes first visit the venue and step on the Index S2 Smart Scale.

The scale will be used to weigh the athletes before the race to ensure the correct data is given to Zwift and to support a fair race with watts per kg a key factor during virtual racing.

During the race, athletes will utilise the Tacx NEO 3M and Tacx NEO Bike Plus smart trainers. In addition, the athletes will wear the HRM-ProPlus premium heart rate strap to track even more data during swimming, biking and running activities.

This will also let athletes analyse their performance and help fans understand the efforts of their heroes, with the likes of world champion and Garmin athlete Beth Potter and three-time Olympic medallist Jonathan Brownlee among those racing at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

The supertri E World Triathlon Championship powered by Zwift blends real life and virtual racing and featured at the IOC’s Olympic Esports Week. Athletes race in an arena with their efforts on the bike and run realised in a virtual race environment and with swimming in a pool.

The 2024 edition will up the pressure for the pros even further with up to 60 athletes competing in a one-day world championship event in partnership with World Triathlon on April 13th at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.

A series of heats in the morning will see only 10 men and 10 women make it through to the final in the evening and a chance to lift the supertri E World Triathlon Championship powered by Zwift titles in front of a crowd at the London venue.

The heats will consist of two stages of swim, bike, run with a short break between them and a pursuit start for stage two. The finals will be the full supertri E World Triathlon Championship format (swim – bike – run // run – bike – swim // swim – bike – run) with a pursuit start in stage three.
