Konkurentidele

Konkurentidele is a triathlon competition format originating in Eastern Europe, particularly in countries such as Estonia and Latvia. The term "konkurentidele" is derived from the Estonian language and means "competition of competitors".

In the format of konkurentidele, participating athletes compete in three sequential disciplines: running, cycling, and swimming. The race sequence typically starts with a short running segment, followed by a longer cycling segment, and concludes with a swimming segment, often taking place in open water.

One of the key distinctive features of konkurentidele competitions is that they are open to athletes who have completed at least one triathlon or distance running event, whereas other formats may prohibit participation based on prior racing or athletic backgrounds. This makes konkurentidele more inclusive and offers a unique opportunity for athletes to test themselves across various disciplines.

The events are often held in scenic, natural settings, such as lakes, rivers, or coastlines, providing an adrenaline-filled and picturesque experience for both competitors and spectators. Konkurentidele's mapping across geographical areas has been achieved through community cooperation and support from local organizers and racing athlete supporters.
