About
The first and only Extreme Triathlon on an active volcano — swim in the Mediterranean with Etna towering overhead, cycle its lava-scarred slopes and run to the summit at 3000m for a once-in-a-lifetime volcanic adventure.
Catering & aid stations

Pacers
Pacer pace bands displayed at each start wave on the day ("Renntag für Laufende"). Pacers run target times per wave and carry flag signage; they support but do not draft.
