Nyon triathlon commits to inclusive sport
The Nyon Triathlon is open to athletes with special needs.
Thanks to our collaboration with Special Olympics Switzerland and theSwiss Paraplegics Association, people with special needs can take part in this sporting event on their own, in groups, with family or friends.
In an inclusive approach, all categories of the Nyon Triathlon are accessible to people requiring special care. The necessary adaptations are made to enable everyone to participate fully and safely in their race. For further information, please contact us.
Integration and special adaptations
For those wishing to discover the joys of triathlon in a family atmosphere, the “Team Family” category allows you to discover all three disciplines, with short distances and a wide range of adaptations.
For this category, material aids can be used, and for the swimming section, “human assistance” is available if necessary, as there is no launch.
Each participant performs with his group the discipline(s) he wishes in the following order:
- Swimming (50 m): the participant is allowed to swim with a board, floating accessories, fins, goggles, mask, snorkel (other accessories accepted on request).
- Bicycle (2 km): the distance can be covered by ordinary bicycle, bicycle with trailer, handcycle, tandem (other adaptations available on request).
- Running (1 km): the distance can be covered on foot, in a joëlette, ordinary wheelchair, pushed by a third party or electrically (other adaptations available on request).
Ranking is determined by drawing lots.
All open races
If you would like to take part in another race with different distances, this is of course also possible. All the races can be viewed on the website and can be run, inclusively, as individuals or relays, with the necessary adaptations for each individual.
The Organizing Committee is committed to making the Nyon Triathlon accessible to as many people with special needs as possible. We strive to guarantee access to sports facilities and offer all necessary amenities.
The Special Olympics movement
Special Olympics – The Nyon Triathlon has been awarded the “Unified by Swiss Inclusive Sport“ label.
Their vision and ours converge on the aspect of promoting sport regardless of one’s abilities, needs and wishes, or socio-cultural and economic situation. The Tri Kids, Family Team and Discovery races are open to anyone wishing to take part. Our aim is to offer everyone the best possible conditions, in an event that is free from any form of exclusion or discrimination.
If necessary, please contact us so that we can make the necessary adjustments.
