One of the World’s greatest sporting cities will play host to a World-class triathlon as Madrid becomes the newest member of the CHALLENGE FAMILY world series of triathlons. The inaugural CHALLENGE MADRID full distance event will take place on September 24, 2017 with the event finish line located in the centre of Madrid, which is visited by thousands of tourists from across the World every day.
The Challenge Madrid swim course is conducted 75 kilometres from the capital, surrounded by holm-oak woods, oak- woods and pine woods at the Canal de Isabel II. Located in the Lozoya Valley, in the middle of the North Mountain Range (“Sierra Norte”), this is one of the most enchanting and attractive touristic areas of the region of Madrid: Buitrago de Lozoya.
The bike course will traverse through stunning locations in the Madrilenian Sierra, and goes through the famous tour of the mountain passes with the ascents to Canencia, Morcuera and Cotos.
The Challenge Madrid run course is a 5 lap course that covers almost all of the Madrid River area (“Madrid Río”). The run leg finishes will finish with the ascent to the Cuesta de la Vega, before incorporating itself to Mayor Street, and entering the Puerta del Sol where the truly unforgettable finish line awaits.
