Thomas Cook Ironman
Ironman is an intense long-distance triathlon race, and arguably the hardest one-day endurance race in the world. It takes place in the gorgeous Alcudia, a town in the northern part of Mallorca. The race starts with a 3.8 km 2 loop swim, followed by a scenic 90 km 1 loop cycle up the mountains of the island, and concludes with an intense 42.2 km run along Alcudia’s gorgeous coastline. The race takes place on Saturday, September 24th, 2016. Online registration will set you back 540 Euros plus 8% Active fees. Ironman is not for the faint-hearted; it’s an intense race for only the fittest of athletes.

Challenge Mallorca
The Challenge Mallorca takes place in Peguera, an idyllic town between the coast of Calvia and the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana. This exhilarating 4-hour challenge is perfect for those who love triathlons but aren’t ready for the intensity of Ironman.

This is followed by a 90 km bike course along the coast, passing through impressive uphills and downhills, before heading to the majestic Serra de la Tramuntana. It ends off with a breathtaking (but demanding) 21 km run between the boulevard and the maritime boardwalk. The registration fee is either 205 or 225 Euros for individual entrants, depending on when you register.
