4 prizes for the Challenge Family tests in Spain

In the international triathlon scene, Spain continues to confirm its status as a benchmark country within the circuit. Challenge Family.
With several awards under their belt, the national events shine among the major middle-distance competitions and consolidate their prestige.
The year 2024 has been especially generous with two Spanish venues that have received important recognition: Challenge Salou y Challenge Peguera Mallorca.
The Spanish presence in Challenge Family
El calendar Challenge Family covers more than 30 competitions, distributed in several areas of the world.
Spain has been strengthening its importance in this franchise and, today, offers several venues that guarantee a very complete experience. Many of them combine the sporting discipline with first-class tourist destinations, which is a great attraction for those looking to combine competition and leisure.
Important recognitions for Salou and Peguera
The highlight of 2024 came with the publication of the Challenge Family Awards, These awards are given year after year to recognise the best races on the circuit. In this edition, the Spanish venues left their mark:
- Challenge Salou won the category of Best Bike, which stands out for its fast and well-designed cycling circuit. This recognition underlines that the Catalan coast offers attractions not only for tourism, but also for sport. With a flat course that runs along the Mediterranean, the athlete can maintain a constant pace and achieve good split times.
- Challenge Peguera Mallorca He received up to three awards: Best Race of the Year, Best Finish Line y Best Pasta PartyThis is not the first time that the Balearic event has achieved this type of distinction, as it had already been named the best in 2019 and 2022. The Mallorcan environment, local hospitality and attention to detail make Peguera a highly valued destination for triathletes from all over the world.
These awards, announced at the beginning of the year, confirm the importance of the Spanish venues within a circuit with races in Europe, Asia, North America and Oceania.
The rise of the national triathlon
The success of Salou and Peguera Mallorca on the international scene is no coincidence. Over the last decade, territorial federations, local administrations and private entities have promoted the development of medium and long distance events.
This promotional work not only benefits the elite, but also amateur triathletes who are increasingly opting for events with good organisation and comprehensive services.
From north to south, Spain offers a very attractive combination of climate, gastronomy, hospitality and experience in organising endurance competitions.
The offer is not limited to Challenge Family races: there are races from other franchises and independent circuits that complement the calendar, always thinking of expanding the options for those who wish to challenge themselves in each of the three disciplines.
In the case of Challenge, the franchise has benefited from the motivation and drive of Spanish cities and municipalities that seek to promote sport and, at the same time, promote specialized tourism.
In this way, the “made in Spain” label gains weight within the Challenge family, presenting different scenarios that fit very varied tastes.
