The Deba Triathlon will summon over 300 athletes on a sprint circuit this Sunday
Everything is ready for the fourth edition of the Deba-Orbea Xtreme Triatloia Triathlon to be held this Sunday. The municipality will host another important sports event, a very demanding event that hopes to bring together a large number of athletes. The event will take place in sprint mode, so the more than 300 participating athletes will have to face a course made up of 900 meters swimming, 30 km by bike and 5,2 km running.
The departure will take place in the estuary, in front of the Ondar Gain, at 13.00 hours, a fixed schedule due to the existence of a cycling race in the same day and so that they do not coincide. In the first section, the athletes will dive in the water to complete the 900 meters. "The tide will be high and the exit with a lot of space seems comfortable. The arrival to the beach and a stretch through the sand will take us to the pits », they explain from the organization.
Once this sector is completed, the participants will take the bike to go to Mendaro, where they will turn around to take the detour in Sasiola and complete the last part of the route through Lastur, thus avoiding the climb to Alto del Calvario from last year . The last stretch will run around the estuary, on a flat path with a steep slope that you will have to climb twice.
The Deba-Itziar Xtreme Club has chosen to return to the sprint distance, thus reducing the distance compared to last year, since "for our resources it is the best option, but this does not take away the hardness or spectacularity of the circuit", they explain from the organization.
This appointment "would not have been possible without the support of the town council, Ciclos Turbina, local entities, shops and hotels in Deba." "Those who wish to come to see the test are recommended to use the train or bus as there may be parking problems," the debarra entity qualifies.
The deadline to register for the Debakotri will remain open until tomorrow. Those interested in signing up for the Debakotri or Deba Triathlon can do so through the Basque Federation website (triatloi.org).
The cost for federated members amounts to 23 euros and for those who are not, to 33, to which 2 euros must be added for the rental of the chip for those who do not own it. Registrations will not be accepted on the same day of the race.
The winner of the test, both in the male and female categories, will receive a prize of 180 euros, a trophy and a txapela. The second will get 125 euros and a trophy, while the third will have to settle for 80 and another trophy. The first of the Deba-Itziar Xtreme Club will also win a trophy, as well as the winners of the junior, sub-23 and veterans 1 and 2 sections. In addition, there will be raffles for everyone.
