Full Iron Distance "The Bastion" set to take place at Château de Chantilly on June 8 2025 !

Introducing the Bastion

Named “the Bastion”, this ultra triathlon will test even the most hardy athletes. The Bastion features a 3.8km swim, a true toughie of a 180km bike course and a stunning 42.2km run course that takes place through the grounds of the beautiful château.

A “bastion” is a stronghold, a place soldiers regroup and prepare for the next round of fighting. That resilience and desire to fight on is most definitely what will be required to conquer this life defining endurance race. This full iron distance race will test even the most courageous warrior!
