Benalmadena’s triathlon is returning. Get your bikes out!

Fitness enthusiasts will be in high spirits as the Benalmadena sporting event of this season, which is one of Benalmadena’s most popular events, returns to Benalmadena on Sunday May 31. It is the 13th anniversary of this high endurance challenge. XIII Triathlon de Benalmadena – Sprint Distance Race starts at 9am, from Puerto Deportivo Benalmadena. It is part of 26th Malaga Triathlon circuit. 

What is the format of the race and its course?

Who is organizing the event?

Club Triathlon Benalmadena, in collaboration between the Benalmadena City Hall and Malaga Council, is responsible for the organization. Alejandro Carretero described the triathlon to be “one of the most important sporting events in our community and one of the most anticipated events each year by athletes and spectators.” The success of the event is due to volunteers, sponsors, and municipal service providers.

How can I view the show?

The open-water swimming begins at the marina. This puts the crowds in the middle of the action. Cycling is divided into three circular routes of about 6.2 kilometers each, followed by a linking stretch. This gives spectators the opportunity to view competitors more than once from one location. Runners run a course of two laps on the seafront. The atmosphere is lively right up until the final athlete crosses.

You can choose to participate in the day-long event or just watch other people sweat. Visit the Club Triathlon’s website for more details about the event and how to register.
