An event that will include continental titles of Duathlon, Acuatlon, Mid Distance Triathlon, Cros Duathlon and Triathlon Cros.

A meeting focused on channeling the island's candidacy as a benchmark for multisport in Europe, which was attended by representatives of the Consell de Ibiza, led by Vicent Torres, President and Director of Tourism and José Hidalgo, President of FETRI, who has been accompanied by its Director of Competitions, Jorge García.
