Become a friend of the Nyon Triathlon

Organized by volunteers since its creation in 1989, the Nyon Triathlon has grown steadily to become the largest triathlon in Switzerland. If our event regularly hosts Swiss championships, it is also, and above all, the celebration of popular sport that remains predominant with races for all publics: children, adults or retirees, sportsmen or not, disabled or not.

A total of 3,043 athletes competed in the Nyon Triathlon in 2019 – a participation record. In order to carry out the organization, nearly 600 volunteer tasks are carried out over a period of ten days.

Being a friend of the Nyon Triathlon, what does that mean ?

Any person who wishes to support the Nyon Triathlon and our organization which is 100% volunteer based and non-for-profit, can decide to give a donation and as such, join the group « Friends of the Nyon Triathlon ».

What amount needs to be donated ?

The amount is left to the free appreciation of each person according to his or her wishes and possibilities. However, a minimum donation of CHF 50 is required.

How long does the “Friend” status last ?

A donation is valid until December 31 of the current year and must be renewed each year in order to maintain the status of “Friend”. Of course, anyone can decide each year to stay, become or stop being a friend.

Am I entitled to compensation by being a “Friend” ?

Although the aim of this support group is based on patronage, we have decided to offer quid pro quos to value the support of our “Friends”, depending on the amount donated :

Donation of CHF 50 to 199: invitation to the VIP aperitif during the event and name on the “Partners” page of the website, in the “Friends” section.

Donation of CHF 200 to 499: free registration for the individual race of your choice, invitation to the launch party on D-100, VIP aperitif during the event and name on the “Partners” page of the website, in the “Friends” section, as well as a personalized race number.

Donation of CHF 500 or more: two free registrations for the race of your choice, invitation to the launch party on D-100, VIP aperitif during the event and your name on the “Partners” page of the website, in the “Friends” section, as well as a personalized race number. Depending on the amount, the number of registrations offered can be discussed.

Can I donate anonymously?

Anyone can make a donation while remaining anonymous. In this case, he or she will indicate this when registering and his or her name will not appear on the published list of Friends.
