The swim segment (1 lap) gives you the chance to swim at Mar Bella beach, sheltered by breakwaters and protected from rough seas, with panoramic views of Barcelona’s coastline featuring the Olympic Port and the Forum Park as key landmarks.

The bike course (2 laps) starts with a link section from Barcelona to Montgat, where the two laps begin along the N-II road between Montgat and Mataró. After completing this section, athletes will return to Barcelona to ride the final kilometers along wide, seaside avenues, offering views of some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, such as the Sagrada Família. It’s a flat and fast course to discover the Barcelona coastline.

The run segment (3 laps) takes you along Barcelona’s seafront promenade, offering beautiful views of the Twin Towers, the golden fish sculpture, and the W Hotel. All along the course, you’ll feel the warmth and energy of the enthusiastic crowds.

KEY INFORMATION

The race will start using a Rolling Start procedure:

Following the start of the PRO athletes, the Rolling Start procedure will begin for all Age Group participants, allowing for a continuous and orderly start. First, athletes will enter a pre-start area where access will be controlled.

After the pre-start, participants will move to a call room where they will line up in 8 rows under the start arch. The race will begin with 8 triathletes starting every 5 seconds. The race time starts when the athlete crosses the chip timing mat at the start line.

Drafting is not allowed in this distance during the bike segment (NO DRAFTING).

The use of mountain bikes (MTB) is not allowed.
