A triathlon, by definition is an endurance multisport race consisting of swimming, cycling, and running, and different events cover various distances.
For example, an Ironman Triathlon includes a 2.4‑mile (3.9 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.2 km) cycle and a marathon 26.2‑mile (42.2 km) run. A total of 140.6 miles (226.3 km)!
