The 3ª edition of the Iberman LD arrives

350 triathletes will participate in the test

Next October 3 will be held the third edition of the Iberman, long distance triathlon that unites the countries of Spain and Portugal.

The triathletes will have to face 3,8 km of swimming, 180 km of cycling to finish with 42 km of race on foot by the Eurocity of Guadiana

The swimming sector will take place in the Portuguese town of Montegordo and will be similar to the first edition. That is to say: two rounds to a route signaled right in front of the hotels to complete the 3,8 km planned.

After leaving the water, the participants will get on the bicycles and will face a route of 170 km, with two thousand meters of accumulated altitude, whose most demanding part will run through Portuguese soil. It will be at the beginning, crossing the towns of Castro Marim, Azinhal, Alcoutim, Mértola and Pomarao. Once the participants enter Spain through the town of El Granado, the last 50 km will be very favorable -normally with wind in favor-, which will allow them a certain respite as they pass through the towns of Villanueva de los Castillejos, San Silvestre de Guzmán, Villablanca and Ayamonte before facing the marathon.

Once in Ayamonte, the triathletes will start the walking tour of 42 kilometers in the direction of Portugal through the International Bridge. After leaving the bridge behind and crossing Castro Marim, there will be an urban circuit between Vila Real de San Antonio and the place of the exit, the Montegordo beach, where the goal will also be located on this occasion

The Sports Club Iberman, organizer of the event, confirms its commitment to triathlon despite the difficulty involved in the implementation of a test of these characteristics.
