History and meaning of Casseconfi
In 2020 while the world was under confinement our small group of Triathlon friends in Mauritius kept on training with the view to participate to one of the toughest mountain triathlons in the world, the 0-3000 Triathlon in Reunion which includes 3000 metres climb on bike and trail to the ceiling of the Indian Ocean. Unfortunately while the confinement rules in Mauritius were gradually relaxing, there were no signs that we would be allowed to fly to Reunion.
This is when we imagined to design a race 2100 meters climbing that would include the toughest road bike climbs of Mauritius i.e Chamarel and Bassin Blanc coupled with the toughest trail climb of Parakeet.
Casseconfi means Breaking the Confinement. On July 25th 2020 Casseconfi Triathlon was the first Sports event to be organised in Mauritius after the first confinement.
In 2021, the Casseconfi bike track unfortunately had to be modified as Chamarel road was under repair and included the coastal road at Macondé and a climb up and down of Fantaisie.
