Registration for Ibiza Sprint Triathlon now open

From the hand of the Ibiza Half Triathlon Sports Association and with the support of Consell d’Eivissa and Ibiza Town Council next October 27th the island is getting ready to host the new Ibiza Sprint Triathlon. The neuralgic and operative center of this new event will be located in the area of Ses Figueretes and it will be its mythical promenade which will host the transitions area, dorsal collection, expo and other activities parallel to the celebration of the Ibiza Sprint Triathlon. The race has opened today the registration period with a starting price of 25 euros, and can be made until July 31 through its website: https://ibizatriatlon.com

The race will be held in sprint format, with a one-lap swim of 750 meters in the calm and crystal clear waters of Ses Figueretes Beach with the island of Las Ratas as a backdrop. After picking up their bikes from the transition area, participants will have a fast and safe 5-kilometer circular urban circuit ahead of them, which they will have to complete four laps to complete the total 20 kilometers. To finish, the triathletes will run five kilometers on a completely flat two-lap course until crossing the finish arch located in the Paseo de Ses Figueretes.

“These circuits offer a safe experience to the participants who will be able to have the encouragement of family members, fans and Ibizan public at all times. The idea of the Ibiza Sprint Triathlon is to be a shared experience with club mates but also with family members. The mixture of a sporting event of this nature and the island’s tourist, gastronomic and cultural benefits gives us a winning combination”, says Andoni Valencia, pioneer triathlete in Spain and responsible for the organization of the AD Ibiza Half Triathlon.

This new event will close the short distance triathlon calendar in Europe, which is a good opportunity for triathlon lovers to say goodbye to the season in a unique environment such as the island of Ibiza at a time when the low season offers accommodation and flights at really interesting prices.
