A Circuit to Remember

The Bilbao Triathlon will begin with swimming, where participants will swim 1,9 km in the Bilbao Estuary, a unique setting that allows them to feel the warmth of the public throughout the entire journey.

The 84,5 km cycling segment has a slope of 841 positive meters, which runs through the Historical Territory of Bizkaia.

This cycling circuit is especially significant this year, as it shares part of the route with the 2023 Tour de France as it passes through Bilbao.

Finally, the 21 km foot race takes place on a flat 5-lap circuit, passing through emblematic places of the city such as the Guggenheim Museum, the sculpture of the Mama spider and the Zubizuri Bridge.

The test will end near the Euskalduna Palace and the Maritime Museum, where the public will be able to cheer on the triathletes until they cross the finish line.
