With start and finish at the Lake, sections through Madrid River, the Departure Garden and traffic-free zones, this test offers an unparalleled combination of natural landscape and urban environment.
It is the Madrid Championship and counts towards the national ranking
It's not just another test. Half Madrid 2025 es Madrid Middle Distance Championship and is included in the national ranking middle and long distance. That is, your results here can make a difference in your overall season ranking.
Whether you're a member of a federation, a PRO triathlete, or just a regular triathlete looking to score points, this event carries weight on the calendar.
Draft-free and 100% controlled route
The cycling segment of the Half is done without drafting, which ensures that each triathlete competes on their own strength, without platoons or external assistance.
In addition, it is a single lap of 83 km, allowing you to maintain a constant pace and enjoy a smooth and safe experience.
The route is completely closed to traffic, well signposted and with all the services for the athlete.
An event for everyone: choose between HALF or SHORT
If you still don't dare to try the middle distance, the SHORT format is ideal for you:
- 1.000 m
- 40 km
- 10 km
It's a perfect option for those just starting out or who want to enjoy the experience of competing in Madrid with a more moderate effort. In addition, this modality allows the Drafting, which adds a very interesting tactical point.
