Bola del Mundo Triathlon, after hanging the full poster, consolidates itself as a benchmark in the Community of Madrid as it is a test with a “spirit of its own” born from the experience of Iván Escassi, organizer of the race and passionate about sports and the outdoors “I wanted to do a different event, Alpe d'Huez is a reference for me and that is why I thought why in Spain we couldn't have something like this. I got to work on it to be able to offer a different triathlon. I was looking for a test that was not only tough, if not brutal, and I think we have achieved it. "

"I'm passionate about the mountain and I run regularly for Navacerrada so I thought that what better ending for a triathlon than one of the stages of the return to Spain and thus culminate this event. Swimming in the Navacerrada reservoir and raising your head to see the top of the ball before the start is a unique experience, an extra motivation to enjoy this competition to the fullest "
