The popular Asian triathlon & cycling event, held on the beautiful island of Bintan, Lagoi Beach / Lagoi Bay on 21st and 22nd October 2023 after a three-year hiatus.
Branded as the ultimate combination of sport and fun, Bintan Triathlon & Gran Fondo by TriFactor has been known by participants and fans as a triathlon festival experience unlike any other, while Bintan island itself has been a hugely popular spot for triathletes and triathlon clubs to hold their training camps.
"We want people to enjoy both tourism and do their sport at the same time. Bintan has always been the ideal spot for sports tourism, having been gazetted by the Indonesian government for the past decade to do so. We have always been known for sports tourism," Mr Abdul Wahab, Group Manager, PT Bintan Resort Cakrawala, shared that it is his hope that mass participation sporting events such as the Bintan Triathlon can spark a revival in tourism.

What happens if I am unable to complete within the Cut-Off time?

All participants have to complete the race once the sweeper is deployed, and will need to return to event site via the Official race vehicle.
Is this a drafting race?
This is a non-Drafting Race. Participants need to be out of the drafting zone of another participant during their bike leg.
The drafting zone is defined as a rectangular area 7 meters long (23 feet) by 2 meters wide (6 feet 6 inches) surrounding each bicycle. The longer sides of the zone begin at the leading edge of the front wheel and run backward parallel to the bicycle; the front wheel divides the short side of the zone into two equal parts, each being one meter wide.
A participant may enter the drafting zone of another cyclist without penalty, if he or she enters the drafting zone from the rear, closes the gap and overtakes the leading cyclist all within no more than 15 seconds. Anyone caught longer in the draft zone will face a penalty.
