Information – Half Triathlon Pamplona-Iruña
Athlete’s Guide
You can consult the ATHLETE’S GUIDE for this VI Half Triathlon Pamplona – Iruña with all the information you need for the big day: timetables, services available, logistics of the transitions, etc.
The VII Half Triathlon Pamplona 2022 guide will be posted 2 weeks before the race and will be sent by email to all participants.
What we offer
With enthusiasm, affection and a lot of dedication, a group of amateur triathletes decided to organise a half-distance race in 2015. A race that in its seven editions has managed to quickly sell out all bibs and be nominated Spanish Middle Distance Triathlon Championship in 2017 and Spanish Cup in the editions from 2016 to date and Spanish Middle Distance Triathlon Championship in 2022.
It could be because of the circuit, fast and attractive, although not without palpable toughness; or because of the people of Pamplona and nearby areas, who support the participants every year; or because of the real culprits behind this exciting adventure, with extensive experience in the sector.
Whatever the reason, the Pamplona-Iruña Half Triathlon is a firmly established event on the national calendar and every year it introduces improvements and services. Our desire is to offer a quality event on four fronts: for the triathlete, for the organisation, for the volunteers and for the spectator.
Come and enjoy our region of Navarre, Pamplona-Iruña, the culture, the people and the gastronomy. And, of course, come and take part in a real triathlon festival.
An event not to be missed by triathlon lovers. The Half Triathlon Pamplona-Iruña will not disappoint you.
