The Monaco International Triathlon returns on Sunday 8 November 2026, drawing 1,200 participants for its first edition in fourteen years.
The Monaco International Triathlon is back this Sunday, 8 November 2026, marking its first edition since the event last ran fourteen years ago. Organisers have confirmed 1,200 athletes will take to the water, bikes and streets around the Rocher for the swim, cycle and run legs that make up the course.
For residents and visitors, the comeback means a busier than usual Sunday morning around the old town, with competitors, support crews and spectators converging on the area from early on. Anyone planning to move around the Rocher or nearby streets that day should expect some disruption as the event takes over the usual rhythm of the neighbourhood for a few hours.
The return after such a long gap signals renewed appetite for large-scale sporting events in the Principality, following a string of recent additions to Monaco's sporting calendar. For long-time residents who remember the earlier editions, Sunday's race offers a chance to see a familiar fixture reclaim its place on the Rocher after more than a decade away.
