Swimming circuit
The event will begin with a 2km open sea swim from the classic triathlon location of Figueretas Beach.
This is a well-protected beach where waves are unlikely, but swimming will favor those athletes accustomed to navigating ocean waters.
The water temperature will likely allow the use of wetsuits, which will benefit those whose main strength is cycling and running, unless the temperature exceeds the 22°C threshold, which would make wetsuits prohibited.
bicycle circuit
After a quick transition, things will heat up under the Mediterranean sun on the 80km bike course.
This circuit starts in Ibiza town and consists of four 19km laps on smooth asphalt heading uphill towards San Antonio before turning around for a quick descent to complete the lap.
At the end of the fourth lap, the athletes will return to the city and the second transition (T2) before the run.
race circuit
Once off the bike and past the second transition on Figueretas beach, the athletes will head towards the port of Ibiza to tackle six 2,5 km laps along the seafront.
With numerous turnaround points, there will be plenty of opportunities for riders to evaluate their progress as the fastest riders try to stay strong against the race specialists.
