Triathlon in Valencia: where to train or compete

Valencia: triathlon city

Challenge your limits between the sea and the asphalt in a city designed for maximum sports performance. 300 days of sunshine a year, 20 kilometers of beaches, and a practically flat terrain make it very easy for sports like triathlons, aquathlons, and duathlons to find their Olympus in Valencia.

Valencia: the ideal multi-sport stage

Nowadays, there are two fixed events on the Valencian calendar: the prestigious IRONMAN 70.3 Triathlon in April and the MTRI triathlon and duathlon in June and February respectively. These international-level events, added to the calmness of the Mediterranean and flat, fast circuits, consolidate the city as the perfect destination for lovers of effort and endurance.

Swimming on the beaches of Valencia

The beaches of Malvarrosa and El Cabanyal are the ideal place to train for open water swimming. Their wide marked zones and the calm of the Mediterranean Sea offer perfect conditions for triathletes. Swimming with the sunrise in the background is the best way to start a day of training.

Running in the Turia Garden

The old Turia riverbed is the largest linear park in Spain. With its 5K Circuit designed specifically for runners, it offers a soft surface that protects the joints. It is the green lung where thousands of athletes prepare their running transitions in a traffic-free environment.

Cycling through the Turia Natural Park

This route starts at Parque de Cabecera and passes through municipalities such as Quart de Poblet, Manises, or Riba-roja del Túria. These paths are ideal for technical training amidst Mediterranean forests. A route of great natural value for riding with intensity, connecting the capital with the heart of the Turia.

Hotels for triathletes

And if you decide to come to train or participate in any of the events, we recommend two hotels highly focused on this sport: the Olympia (in the municipality of Alboraya, very close to the city) and Ad Hoc Parque, in Bétera.
