LONG COURSE WEEKEND MALLORCA (Alcudia)

SATURDAY 26 – MONDAY 28, OCTOBER 2019

The upcoming third edition of the Long Course Weekend Mallorca unveils a ‘Half’ version of the event.

The traditional Long Course Weekend format (3.8km swim, 172km bike, 42,195km run), is like an iron-distance triathlon but over three consecutive days. The participants of this shorter version will complete half of the distance (1.9km swim, 86km bike and 21,097km run). As with the finishers of the full LCW distance, they will be awarded the fourth medal for successfully completing all three disciplines.

Long Course Weekend Mallorca 2019 will be held in Alcudia, a paradise for endurance sport, on Saturday 26th, Sunday 27th and Monday 28th October. More than 1,000 athletes are expected to take part in this three-day sporting festival with different sports and a wide range of distances to choose.

If an athlete wants to be a part of the weekend but doesn’t want to do the longer distances, they can enter other combinations, and now have the chance to race the “Half” distance, a perfect event for newcomers and for those triathletes who are looking for a demanding challenge to finish the season.

Swim Day

The “Swim Day” is an open water swim race that will take place on Saturday 26th October and participants can choose between these different options: 750m, 1,500m, 1,900m or 3,800m all of them taking place at the calm and turquoise bay of Alcudia.
