Following the success of the Open Day in Ladispoli, the tri4ALL project continued its journey north, landing in Lombardy with two new stops dedicated to inclusive sport and the promotion of Paratriathlon. On May 10th and 11th, the cities of Telgate and Grumello del Monte hosted two dynamic days of activities aimed at breaking down barriers and fostering a sports culture that is truly accessible to all.

The events took place in a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, engaging athletes, coaches, students, associations, and families. At the heart of the initiative was once again the promotion of Paralympic disciplines, through technical demonstrations, hands-on multisport activities, and meaningful exchanges with the local community.

As seen in the Lazio edition, the Lombardy events highlighted the importance of working closely with local territories to raise awareness about inclusion and to showcase Paratriathlon as a sport rich in values and potential.

These Open Days mark another important step toward building a fairer sports environment—one where everyone, regardless of ability, can feel actively involved and empowered.

tri4ALL continues to move forward with a clear and powerful message: sport is for everyone.

From May 2nd to 4th, Ladispoli hosted the tri4ALL Open Day, three exciting days dedicated to inclusive sport and the promotion of Paratriathlon. The event brought together athletes with disabilities, coaches, students, families, and local associations, turning the city into a hub for raising awareness on accessibility and equal opportunities in sport.

Throughout the event, participants engaged in adaptive multisport activities, technical demonstrations, inspiring talks with Paralympic athletes, and informative sessions focused on the importance of inclusion in sport. Local schools joined with enthusiasm, attending interactive workshops designed to bring younger generations closer to the values of sport for all.

The Open Day was a tangible opportunity to connect with the local community and encourage new participants to discover Paratriathlon. This successful experience confirmed how well-organized local events can have a meaningful social and cultural impact.

The Italian Triathlon Federation is leading the European project Tri4All- Swim, Bike and Run for ALL, designed to promote the participation of people with disabilities in triathlon. 

With the involvement of 10 partner federations, Tri4All focuses on training, sharing best practices, and hosting workshops on inclusion and equal opportunities . At the heart of the project is the development of technical tests to create personalized training programs for para- athletes.

Tri4All is a concrete example of sport breaking down barriers and promoting accessibility, diversity, and team spirit across Europe. 

During the Italian Duathlon Sprint Championships, the city of Imola became the stage for a powerful moment in the Tri4All – Swim Bike and Run for ALL journey: 10 new athletes made their debut in the Paraduathlon discipline, thanks to the incredible support of Italian clubs that fully embraced the inclusive mission of the project.

Swim Bike and Run for ALL (tri4ALL) is a project promoted by Fitri that brings together ten other partner Federations to promote Paratriathlon with the aim of ensuring opportunities for athletes with disabilities, facilitating inclusion and at the same time sharing best practices among Paratriathlon Federations in Europe.
