Swim course is practically the same since the beginning, excepted for the change in direction operated around 2013.
Bike course, except for the first full edition in 2005, was always held in the west part of Elba, involving the towns of Marciana and Marciana Marina. Some changes and adaptions came in succesion years by years, even if the course was always a 3-laps one.
Also run course has come to many adaptations in order to be less boring and best fans-friendly possible.
Elbaman was, for at least a decade, the only one chance to compete in a full triathlon in Italy. From 2007 to 2010, the event was entitled as Italian Championship Long distance.
