Triathlon at the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad
Venue	Vouliagmeni Olympic Centre
Dates	25–26 August 2004
Competitors	100 from 34 nations
← 2000 2008 →

Each competitor starts the event with a 1500-metre swim course, followed by a 40 kilometre road bicycle race and finish with a 10 kilometre road run. Both leg transitions (swimming—cycling and cycling—running) are performed on a special transition area, under judge's scrutiny and the duration of the transition is added to the final time.

A pre-Olympic test event was staged over the Olympic course in October 2003, and saw Denmark's Rasmus Henning and Australia's Michellie Jones winning the men's and women's events.
