Mallorca as a thriathlon destination
For many triathletes, cycling is the most important part of their preparation, and this is exactly where Mallorca stands out. The island offers an enormous variety of training options. You can ride flat endurance sessions along the coast, but also train on long climbs like Sa Calobra, Puig Major, or Coll de Sóller.
There are also excellent options for swim training. The island's many bays offer safe spots for open-water swimming, and several sports hotels have pools suitable for focused swim training.
Mallorca is ideal for running too. From quiet boulevards along the sea to challenging trails in the mountains: there's always an environment that fits your training goal.
Grote triathlons in Mallorca
In recent years, Mallorca has developed into one of Europe's leading triathlon destinations. Not just because of the training opportunities, but also thanks to major international races.
IRONMAN 70.3 Alcúdia-Mallorca
The IRONMAN 70.3 Alcúdia-Mallorca is one of Europe's best-known triathlons and takes place in late April in the north of the island. The race consists of a 1.9-kilometer swim, a 90-kilometer bike leg, and a half marathon.
The north of the island is perfect for triathletes. The swim takes place in the sheltered bay of Alcúdia, and the bike course shows exactly why so many athletes come to Mallorca. From the coast, you ride toward the impressive mountain landscape around Lluc.
Many triathletes choose to train in Mallorca ahead of this race, since it lets them prepare under the same conditions they'll later race in.
Challenge Peguera Mallorca
The Challenge Peguera Mallorca is also among the island's well-known triathlons. This race takes place in autumn, in Peguera.
The course is known for its beautiful surroundings and challenging bike leg. The combination of technical roads, elevation changes, and stunning views makes this a race many triathletes are happy to add to their calendar.
