Course Description TriStar55.5 Mallorca

The first TriStar55.5 Mallorca will take place on 15 April 2012 in the picturesque harbour setting of Portocolom, one of the last and old majorcan villages where sailors of Mediterranean Sea love to stop and take a rest.

SWIM 0.5km

In the port area, just close to the Nautical Club, athletes will have to swim 500m in the protected Portocolom bay, with an easy course to be followed by spectators. A 300m run will take competitors into the first transition area.

BIKE 50km

The road closed to traffic is tough since the very first kilometers, with an undulating profile so athletes will have to manage their strength. They will cycle through rural landscapes where ups and downs will be constant and later followed with a flat stretch before the spectacular climb of Sant Salvador, well known by thousands of triathletes and cyclists who are visiting Mallorca, with its 494m height and its awesome views towards the island and the southeast coast. Participants will bike one loop of 50km.

RUN 50km

On this last discipline, the loop is 5 kilometers beginning in the old part of the village, following the road along the sea towards the beautiful beaches of S'Arenal at Portocolom’s bay, its quite sea, traditional boats and the mountains that participants just covered with their bike in the background. A nice picture postcard run with people cheering you!
