Duel of the Titans at the BH Zarauzko Triatloia

We can see the duel of Víctor del Corral, Marcel Zamora and Gustavo Rodríguez and in the Olympic women's category Marina Damlaimcourt, Gurutze Frades, Eva Ledesma and Judith Corachan

 

The twenty-ninth edition of the BH Zarauzko Triatloia will have a txapela very disputed in the category of professionals, with an exit list formed by great international figures. In men's category two of the fashionable men of the medium and long distance, Víctor del Corral y Marcel Zamora, they start as favorites, since they both know what it is to run in Zarautz, they arrive in an excellent state of form and they want to know how well they feel the victory in this prestigious event.

To these two winners of numerous Ironman must be added other names such as those of Fraser Cartmell (second place last year), Gustavo Rodriguez (recent winner in the Bilbao Triathlon) or Roger Serrano, second in the Spanish Championship of XTERRA always willing to give everything to the ZTri2015. The Zarauztarra Jon Unanue will be the local idol that enters the fight for positions of honor.

As for the female category, a priori the great favorite will be the Olympic Marina Damlaimcourt, that will be measured to other great distance specialists like Gurutze Frades, or the Catalans Eva Ledesma , Judith Corachan o Dolça Ollé, among others.

In the press conference for the presentation of the test, held this morning at the City of Zarautz, Víctor del Corral has been confident in its possibilities, because "when I made the record of the third sector in my only participation in Zarautz came from the duathlon . Now I swim better, but I run less. The bicycle is demanding and can be one of the keys, but to win in the ZTri you have to run a lot. "

Inaxio Alguacil, President of Zarauzko Triatloi Elkartea, organizer of the event, recalled the work carried out by the volunteers, "more than 250 people, to whom we thank, as well as the entire people, who turn to a proof that he makes it his and they are one of the keys of the event ".

The local triathlete Jon Unanue, for his part, has indicated that "I feel good, and I will try to reach the podium. I will go forward safely in the water and from there without looking back to finish! After so many participations in a row I'm looking forward to one more step. "

More than 650 participants and a long waiting list

More than 650 participants will start in this edition, whose registrations were exhausted in a few minutes and in which the waiting list exceeds one hundred triathletes. The swimming course will cover the 2,9km of open water crossing to the Zarautz boardwalk where the boxes are located, just like last year, under the balcony of the Zarautz Tourism offices. 82 km of cycling and 20 km of running on foot will complete the test, which as usual will be followed by thousands of people in the streets of Zarautz, Alto de Txurruka or the Aia wall, among other charismatic points of the route.

Pedestrian race returns to 'the tables' of the desert

Once again the organization and the sponsors of the test will turn the participants taking care of even the smallest detail. All and all triathletes will receive a bag of gifts that will be completed with the FINISHER shirt that the Catalan brand Inverse has prepared for the occasion. In addition, both BH bicycles, the main sponsor of the test, and the 2XU wetsuits, will give an exclusive gift to participants who use their products.

The walking tour of the race, with a length close to the 20 Km, will cross the area of ​​the Zarautz biotope again. The 2015 edition recovers one of its most charismatic steps with the newly inaugurated walkway over the dunes.
