The season starts early in March with TriStar Nevis in the Caribbean, one of the first triathlon races in the world. TriStar Mallorca (Spain) and TriStar Cannes (France) bring the new season to Europe. At the end of May and in the beginning of June, Central Europe will enjoy three great competitions in Split (Croatia), Salzkammergut (Austria) and Worms-Germany. Deauville and Lyon on 17th of June and 8th of July complete the wide TriStar offer in France. At the end of July, Milton Keynes will host the first TriStar in the United Kingdom, a few days before the Olympic Games. In August, the TriStar Series comes to Estonia, with a great triathlon festival, and will also be present for the second year in the United States in Minnesota. The last event in the season is the TriStar Monaco, the Formula 1 of triathlon.

MORE RACES TO COME IN 2012. TRISTAR BERLIN CANCELLED.
In the next months, Star Events will announce more destinations and events for 2012 and 2013, and confirm the date for TriStar Madrid with the brand new T5 format (a team of five triathletes racing together, with drafting allowed between the members of the same team). The date of TriStar Sardinia will follow soon. Finally, TriStar Berlin will not be part of the 2012 calendar as the co-organizers SCC Events and Star Events decided to end their collaboration on mutual agreement and continue with separate triathlon formats in the future (more info in www.tristarberlin.com).

“We have created a few new events coming along for 2012 on the TriStar Series and mostly for the format 111, but normally accompanied by 55.5 or 33.3… We are bringing unique destinations in France as Cannes and Deauville, a new race in the UK in Milton Keynes close to London and also a new race in Austria for the first time in a natural paradise as Salzkammergut… We are trying to net our series across Europe as well to have some leads to the US as well” says Georg Hochegger, CEO of Star Production SARL.
