Bali International Triathlon, LLC has announced that the first triathlon race ever to be held on the island of Bali will take place on June 24, 2007 at Jimbaran Bay, Bali. The Olympic distance course, consisting of a 1.5 kilometer swim in the warm waters of Jimbaran Bay, a 40 kilometer bike course through the Nusa Dua area of the island, and a 10 kilometer run through Jimbaran Village with a beach finish, will provide participating athletes with a challenging and scenic race.

Four Seasons at Jimbaran Bay, one of the leading race sponsors, is offering a first prize package consisting of a three day, two night stay in one of their world famous luxury villas. Awards will also be given to the first three finishers in each age group category.

All athletes will be provided with high quality race T-shirts made by Sport Science, entrance to a pre-race party, and unique finisher’s award handcrafted by local Balinese artists.

“Our primary goals in arranging the initial Bali triathlon are to promote tourism on the island and to create a long lasting quality race that will attract both professional and top age group athletes” says Robb Strom, one of the principals involved in the organization of the race. Race organizers also include Brennan Lindner of Generic Events in Los Angeles, and John Daniels of Bali Discovery Tours in Bali.
