Race events

The adventure begins with a 1,000-meter swim at Playa del Pozuelo, which features a new layout this year, fully adapted to federation regulations. The updated course simplifies the start of the race for athletes, eliminates unnecessary travel, and makes it easier for spectators to follow the action while enhancing safety monitoring.

The second new feature is the redesigned transition area. Both T1 and T2 will now be accessed from left to right (as viewed from the beach). This improvement ensures that all athletes cover the same distance while pushing their bikes during transitions. Additionally, the mountain biking (MTB) segment will now start in El Pozuelo Park.

“Full of character” is the best way to describe the 22-kilometer MTB segment, which winds through tracks, trails, and paths in the municipalities of Almuñécar and Ítrabo, featuring steep climbs, thrilling descents, and breathtaking views.

Finally, the race will conclude with a 6-kilometer run over mixed terrain in the Mediterranean Park, combining beach paths and natural trails.
