Tsu International Golf Triathlon 2025

Overview

The 2025 Tsu International Golf Triathlon is a groundbreaking multisport event held on Monday, October 13, 2025 (national holiday) at Tsu Country Club (Katada-Hasemachi, Tsu City, Mie Prefecture, Japan). Co-sponsored by the General Incorporated Golf Triathlon Association and Tsu Country Club, this world-first competition, launched in Japan, combines golf (18 holes, stroke play), cycling (36H or 18H, on cart paths), and running (18H or 9H, on cart paths/grass) to create a purely athletic challenge. The event features three categories: A Class (full-size), B Class (half-size), and Relay Division (2-person teams), with a shotgun start for golf, followed by timed bike and run segments (golf score sets bike start times). Open to men and women aged 12+ (amateurs and professionals) who can play competitive golf, cycle 30 km in <90 minutes, and run 10 km in <70 minutes, it has a capacity of 120 participants (100 across categories, first-come, first-served). Participation fees are 18,000 yen per person (A/B Class) or 24,000 yen per team (Relay Division), plus a 13,500 yen play fee (includes lunch box, tax). Registration is open from April 15 to September 20, 2025, via https://www.sportsentry.ne.jp/inquiry, closing when capacity is reached. Awards are given to the top three in each category, with age groups (U-29, 30-49, 50-64, 65+) for A/B Class, and finisher’s certificates emailed post-event. The course (~6,670 yards, par 72 for golf; ~30 km bike for A Class, ~15 km for B Class/Relay; ~10 km run for A Class, ~5 km for B Class/Relay) features Korai grass greens, cart paths, and off-road terrain. A players’ meeting (online, October 3, 8:00–9:00 PM) is mandatory, with a recording for absentees. Described on X as “an epic test of athleticism,” the event offers a thrilling, soul-shaking challenge with scenic Mie Prefecture landscapes, supported by safety staff and sports injury insurance, ideal for multisport enthusiasts seeking to surpass their limits.
