One month before the competition, the event brings together leading names from the world of triathlon and is preparing for a record edition
With one month to go until the Challenge Barcelona Triathlon 2024, the event has already almost 3000 registered participants, approaching the limit of 3500 participants. Registrations will close on Wednesday, October 30 or once the maximum number of registered participants has been reached.
In addition, this year’s TRIEXPO will be the largest to date, with more than 20 confirmed brands from the sector, occupying the entire CEM de la Mar Bella track. More than 8000 visitors are expected to attend during the competition weekend.
New for 2024, the running section of the course has been revamped, offering a faster circuit with uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean Sea. The layout has reduced the number of 180º turns, thus improving the times and experience of the triathletes.
