In the heart of South America, a new chapter in the world of triathlon is about to be written. Encarnación, Paraguay, known for its vibrant culture and breathtaking scenery along the Paraná River, is gearing up to host the inaugural Ueno Bank 5150 Paraguay Triathlon in April 2025. This event marks a significant milestone as it introduces the 5150 triathlon format to Paraguay, inviting athletes from across the globe to partake in a competition that blends endurance with the exhilarating beauty of Encarnación’s landscape.

The choice of Encarnación, with its iconic Costanera and the inviting Playa San José, provides a backdrop that is as challenging as it is charming, promising a race that is as visually engaging as it is physically demanding.
