The Santander City Triathlon 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most complete and exciting events on the national calendar.
Three months before the event ( September 21st ), the organization has revealed key details about the routes, the prizes for both distances and its solidarity commitment to Down Cantabria.
Foot race: fast and urban circuit
For both the Olympic and half-distance races, the running portion will take place on a traffic-free , completely flat, and very fast urban course. A perfect route for maintaining your pace or pushing yourself to the limit in the final kilometers.
- Olympic distance: 10,5 km (3 laps)
- Middle distance: 21 km (6 laps)
The start and finish lines will be located at the Gamazo dock , passing through emblematic places such as Castelar, Paseo Pereda, the Botín Centre and the Port of Santander.
There will be 3 aid stations distributed along the route and participants are reminded that it is forbidden to throw trash outside of the designated areas.
Cycling: demanding, technical and spectacular
The cycling course promises to be one of the event's main attractions. Closed to traffic, urban, with views of the sea and iconic areas of the city, it combines skill, effort, and scenic beauty.
- Olympic distance: 40 km (2 laps of 20 km)
- Middle distance: 80 km (4 laps of 20 km)
The route starts and ends at the Gamazo dam / Zaera dune , and includes highlights such as the Gas Hill , Queen Victoria Avenue , the Magdalena Peninsula and the Port of Santander.

Solidarity bib: compete for a good cause
This year, the event is once again committed to the solidarity bib , an initiative that combines sport and inclusion.
In this edition, the proceeds will go to the Down Syndrome Foundation of Cantabria , which has been working for the rights and opportunities of people with Down syndrome since 1982.
In 2024, the foundation took another step forward with the " From Santander to Illinois " project, in collaboration with Northwestern University in the United States. Through cultural exchanges and virtual reality, they seek to promote inclusion internationally.
Participating with a charity bib is much more than just a triathlon. It's supporting a cause that transforms lives.
