GIANT 550 – UltraTRI

According to Baltic mythology, the Curonian Spit was formed by a giantess, Neringa, who was playing on the seashore. Now it’s your time to play with Neringa and become a GIANT.

This unique triathlon experience starting at the Curonian Lagoon and Spit, followed by Lithuanian coast and countryside from the Russian Kaliningrad region border all the way to the three country Lithuania – Latvia – Belarus border is probably not for most of the triathletes, but for those who dare to try will experience something very special during this long weekend.
