In A Coruña, which last year organized the Triathlon King's Cup and does not rule out hosting the European Championship in the future, 10.000 euros will be distributed in prizes for the first classified and a commemorative gift of the test for all those who manage to finish it This was announced today by the Councilor for Sports from A Coruña, Xan Martínez, who was accompanied by the secretary of the Galician Triathlon Federation, Ánxeles Otero, and one of the municipal sports officials, David Mateo, at the presentation of the event.
The Spanish championship will be held, unlike the Copa del Rey, in the Riazor area, with the swimming event on the beach and the walking and cycling tour on the seafront.
Xan Martínez hopes that the sports weekend will be successful in A Coruña, where in addition to the triathlon championship, the European Women's Rugby Championship and the OK League roller hockey match are held in which the Liceo can conquer the Title.
