There are less than two months left until the second edition of the Long Course Weekend Mallorca, which will be held in Alcudia on Saturday 27, Sunday 28 and Monday 29 October. The number of entries compared to the first edition has already increased, with almost 1,000 athletes who will participate in one of the three days, or over the three consecutive days.

The expected numbers are double last years participation, with almost 500 British, nearly 200 Spanish and more than 100 Germans. A highlight is the high percentage of women taking part, who already represent 45% of the total number of registered participants. This is a much higher percentage than normal long distance events in Spain.

Last year’s LCW winners, Lucy Gossage and Tom Vickery, have confirmed their presence at the starting line.
