Late Summer Sunshine in Sensational Spain
The village of Calella of the Barcelona-Maresme region, on Spain’s eastern coastline on the Mediterranean Sea, hosts the most popular end of season race in Europe. A sea swim in the bay, a fast bike course and a flat run, this race has clocked sub-8 hour times making it a sure-fire personal best course. Wrapped up in Spanish sunshine with a finish line on the beach and a spirited after party, IRONMAN Barcelona is a European series winner.
Swim
The single-loop 3.8 km (2.4 mile) swim in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea starts and finishes on the beach of Callela. Athletes will first swim away from the shore and then loop back with two right turns that take them along the beach.
Bike
The two-loop 180.2 km (112 mile) bike course takes athletes along the stunning coast line between Calella and Montgat. But, will there be time to take in the sights and sounds of the Costa del Maresme? Known to be flat and fast this is where aerobars will shine!
Run
The three-loop 42.2 km (26.2 mile) run course from Calella to Santa Susanna leads through Pineda de Mar and takes athletes up and down the coastline. Finally, athletes will step back on the beach one last time to run down the magic finish line of Calella.
