　　第二届香格里拉国际铁人两项挑战赛将于2018年5月20号举办。同去年一样，选手可以选择个人赛或者团队接力赛。比赛距离预计为7公里-45公里-7公里，终点将设在古城。由于终点的改动，第二个跑步赛段的距离可能会延长。

　　作为中国海拔最高的铁人两项赛事，去年首届赛事取得了圆满成功，选手完赛率高达100%。对每一位选手来说，香格里拉铁人两项赛都是一个巨大的挑战，不仅仅因为香格里拉3200多米的海拔，同时环纳帕海的自行车赛段，以及绕城的跑步赛段，数个上坡都可能会打乱选手的节奏。

　　相比于个人赛的高挑战性，团队接力赛为公司或团队提供了一个绝佳的机。团队赛不限性别，每支队伍必须有三个选手，2位跑步和1位骑车。如果公司参赛人数众多，也可以在报名时用数字或者字母来分队，比如诺迪维一队/二队，诺迪维A队/B队。

　　2018年的香格里拉铁人两项在线报名将于12月第一个星期开放，早鸟优惠价将在3月底结束。
