Triangle des Eaux Bleues 2026 — Miribel

Om løbet

The Triangle des Eaux Bleues is a premier destination for finswimming enthusiasts, set against the backdrop of the stunning Lac de Miribel. Located in the heart of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, this event is hosted at the iconic Plage du Fontanil, a location celebrated for its expansive waters and vibrant natural surroundings. Organized by the FFESSM AURA, the race serves as a high-stakes departmental and regional championship, attracting a diverse field of competitors ranging from promising juniors to seasoned masters.

Beyond its competitive edge—with all distances serving as qualifiers for the French Open Water Championships—the event is defined by a spirit of camaraderie and professional organization. The partnership with local entities like the Grand Parc, the Vaulx-en-Velin Kayak Club, and the SNSM ensures a safe and exhilarating environment for every participant. Whether you are aiming for a personal best in the 6km challenge or enjoying the 2km distance, the atmosphere is electric and welcoming for athletes of all levels.

Miribel itself is a gateway to the natural beauty of the Rhône valley. When you aren't focused on the rhythmic glide through the lake's namesake 'blue waters,' the surrounding Grand Parc offer endless opportunities for relaxation and exploration. It is the perfect venue to test your limits while enjoying the fresh air and scenic vistas of this French gem.
