The institutions are cited with the pros of the European triathlon at the Km0 in Madrid
All ready for the Challenge Madrid, LD European Championship.
On Sunday 23 of September more than 400 triathletes of more than 21 countries will take the start in Buitrago del Lozoya in the European Championship of Long Distance Triathlon Challenge Madrid 2018.
Participants will have to complete a distance of 3.8 kilometers swimming and then get on their bike and complete a 180-kilometre circuit with a gradient of 2.800 metres, which will take in more than 28 municipalities in the Sierra Norte de Madrid until reaching the Casa de Campo in Madrid. There they will leave their bikes and begin a marathon (42,195 kilometres) that will cover the most emblematic places in Madrid such as Calle Mayor, the Royal Palace, Plaza de España, the Debod Temple and with the finish line at the emblematic kilometre zero of the Puerta del Sol.
On the occasion of this great sporting event, today the General Director of Sports of the Community of Madrid, Javier Orcaray, the General Director of Sports of the Madrid City Council, Javier Odriozola, and the President of the Madrid Triathlon Federation, Ramiro La Hera, have had a meeting at the zero kilometer of the Puerta del Sol with some of the leading national and international triathletes who will fight for the European title.
The Spanish Pablo Dapena (current Long Distance World Champion) together with the British Laura Siddall and the Italian Margie Santimaria have had the opportunity to chat with our sports leaders and also to imagine what their entry will be like on Sunday at this Km0 of Puerta del Sol.
Triathletes and leaders have agreed that the Challenge Madrid 2018 Long Distance Triathlon European Championship will bring a new experience to all participants, since we are facing an event of maximum demand that will be an added challenge for them. Crossing the finish line at the Km0 on Sunday will be your reward.
The Challenge Madrid 2018 Long Distance Triathlon European Championship can be followed on September 23 live through social networks and the Challenge Madrid website www.challenge-madrid.com
