WHAT TO EXPECT
VERIFIED EVENT DETAILS · DAILY CHORE EDITORIAL COMMENTARY
Not Actually in Barcelona
First thing to know: the race is held in Calella, a coastal town roughly 50km northeast of Barcelona city — the name refers to the province and nearest airport, not the race location itself. Don't book a hotel in central Barcelona expecting to walk to the start.
The Course
A straight out-and-back Mediterranean swim off Calella beach, a fast Costa Brava bike course, and a seafront run — regarded as one of the fastest 70.3 courses in Europe, drawing around 3,500 athletes.
Daily Chore Take
If you're chasing a 70.3 PB, this course's reputation for speed is well-earned — just plan your accommodation in Calella itself or budget time for the commuter train up the coast.
