For the first time, the Lorient Triathlon is joining forces with the Ter clinic to promote healthy sport. The Ter Lorient Triathlon is scheduled for June 15 and 16.
It’s a first. The Lorient Triathlon organization announced a few months ago that the event is partnering with the Clinique du Ter, a renowned healthcare establishment that offers cutting-edge medical expertise for sports medicine, for the next three years. . “This partnership aims to promote knowledge in the field of sports medicine, promote the practice of healthy sports adapted to all and also facilitate access to care, particularly for women”, indicates Lucas Le Sauce, the organizer. . The first edition of the Ter Lorient Triathlon will take place this weekend of June 15 and 16 at the nautical base of the Etang du Ter. Health professionals will be on site to carry out information and prevention actions.
Six events on the menu

A duathlon for mini-chicks (150m run, 1km bike ride and 200m run) and three triathlons: chicks (50m swim, 1.2km bike ride and 500m run) foot), pupils (100 m swimming, 2.4 km cycling and 1 km walking), benjamins (200 m swimming, 3.6 km cycling and 1.5 km running). The next day, it’s time for the adult triathlons in format S (750 m/23 km/5 km) and M (1.5 km/40 km/10 km).
A united and committed event
One of the main objectives for the Ter Lorient Triathlon is to support women’s sport which is “developing but it is clear that to date the specificities of the athlete are still insufficiently taken into account, both by the coaches as well as by professionals in the medical monitoring of athletes,” he underlines. The organization would like to point out that less than 9% of sports research studies focus on aspects specific to women.
This is why the event is committed to health and medical innovation: part of the registrations will be donated to the endowment fund named “Mécénat innovation santé Bretagne Sud”, which supports research and promotion projects. of women’s sports medicine.
