Growing and inspiring female participation
Female participation reached a new milestone this year, with a notable increase across all formats. Amidst a strong sporting landscape, the female triathletes captured the attention and enthralled the Geneva crowd throughout the weekend.
Redesigned departures and arrivals for an improved experience
The 2025 edition innovated with redesigned start and finish areas:
Departure from Eaux-Vives beach , with the spectacular Australian exit
Arrival on the quays, facing the Jet d'Eau , offering an immersive setting for the public and better fluidity for the athletes, without modifying the main route.
Youth League: the next generation of Swiss triathlon stars in the spotlight
The La Tour Genève Triathlon hosted a stage of the Youth League (Swiss Triathlon) for young people aged 14 to 17 in a dynamic format (500m swim, 10km bike ride, 2.5km run). These young talents demonstrated their commitment and promising level, confirming the event's role in supporting the next generation of Swiss triathlon athletes.
A united and collective event
The 2025 edition raised CHF 6,000 for Switzerland for UNHCR thanks to donations from participants, proving that sport and solidarity can move forward together.
The success of this edition is based on the commitment of more than 550 volunteers and the unwavering support of our partners, the City of Geneva, the Canton of Geneva and the municipalities crossed, whom we warmly thank.
See you in 2026!
The 36th edition will be held on July 4 and 5, 2026.
