On 11 May one of the most eagerly-awaited challenges for triathletes anywhere in the world will take place in Mallorca Ironman 70.3!

The activities will go on until Sunday 12 May, concluding with the prize-giving ceremony and the awarding of slots for the World Ironman Championships no less!

Where is it held?

The departure point is the port of Alcudia, one of Mallorca’s best-known towns. With its 30 km of fine, sandy beaches, its sheer-sided coves and tranquil bays it is the ideal place for bringing together hundreds of cyclists and triathletes who want to train while soaking up a wonderful landscape.

The swimming will take place at the spectacular beach at the port of Alcudia, and the bicycle course will take the athletes through the most beautiful landscapes of the Sierra de Tramuntana.

The half-marathon course will be three times round a flat circuit along the length of the wide Alcudia beach.

This event is designed exclusively for the ultra-brave!
