The Challenge Barcelona Triathlon already has confirmed dates for its 2026 edition, which will be held on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October. After the success of the last edition, which brought together nearly 3,000 participants and consolidated the incorporation of the Middle Distance, the event will once again make Barcelona the international epicenter of triathlon.

Registrations will open on Thursday, November 13, 2025 through the official website [www.triathlon.barcelona] ( https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com%2Fwis%2Fclicktime%2Fv1%2Fquery%3Furl%3Dwww.triathlon.barcelona%26umid%3D4a059f2e-c96c-4fa5-a0a3-d19cdef4634d%26rct%3D1762507312%26auth%3Df72782e47d1a3f5871e60165462057628606b2a1-e6919d935db223fbd569b2524c98e4cf694a3faa&data=05%7C02%7Cbigestio%40bcn.cat%7Cdd8d75abd1214f9a0c7808de1ddf1977%7Ce7891cc3dac94121b2dafd8ccf4d0855%7C0%7C0%7C638981042916984123%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C800 00% 7c%7c%7c&sdata=w8dpvyf1cuj941pmnphcw8acxandzix7aknfymbwnpw%3D&reserved=0), with limited places for each modality.

As a great novelty, the new edition recovers the Olympic Distance, one of the distances most requested by triathletes. Its reincorporation responds to the demand of the sports collective and consolidates Barcelona as a city capable of offering challenges for all levels and profiles of athletes.

• Aquathlon: 750 m of swimming and 5 km of running.

• Open Water 1,900 m: a lap around the sea circuit of the Mar Bella.

• Open Water 3,800 m: two laps on the same circuit for lovers of long distances.

On Sunday, October 25, the great triathlon day will arrive, with four distances open to all profiles of athletes:

• Middle Distance: 1,900 m of swimming, 88 km of cycling (with the route premiered in 2025 between Barcelona and Mataró) and 21 km of running.

• Olympic Distance: 1,500 m of swimming, 40 km of cycling and 10 km of running on foot, ideal for triathletes looking for a challenge balanced between intensity and endurance.

• Sprint Distance: 750 m of swimming, 20 km of cycling and 5 km of running on foot, the most classic and popular distance of the Challenge Barcelona Triathlon.
