Fuente Alamo Triathlon Returns With Excellent Turnout In Puerto De Mazarron

Once more, the Playa de Rihuete in Puerto de Mazarron was the kickoff point for one of the season’s most awaited sporting events, the Fuente Álamo Triathlon. The event, now in its incredible 34th edition, saw nearly 800 athletes participate and countless visitors gather in the charming coastal town to support their loved ones taking on the challenge.

A formidable challenge that sees Spain’s toughest athletes compete

The triathlon consisted of an intense swimming segment, followed by a challenging cycling course and finishing with a final footrace to determine the winners. The event began in the early afternoon and saw the athletes kick off the race at the beach with a fast and highly competitive pace. The race, maintaining its iconic route from previous years, finished on the Ronda de Poniente in Fuente Álamo.

In the end, Noelia Juan Pastor and David Cantero were crowned the overall winners, though all the athletes who participated were thoroughly praised for taking on such a challenging and all-encompassing course.

Apart from the organisations collaborating to make the event happen, the Fuente Álamo Triathlon counted on the hard work and support of nearly 300 volunteers. 

A major sporting event that prepares participants for the nationals

The Fuente Álamo Triathlon, as a major sporting event in the municipality, is one of the greatest points of pride for Puerto de Mazarron and each year it is a major draw for both athletes who come to take on the formidable challenge and their supporters and loved ones. It is nicknamed the “triathlon for triathletes” for its considerable, but rewarding, challenge.

The race is also a qualifier for the Spanish Triathlon Championship, showcasing its prowess not just on the Costa Calida but on a national scale. Puerto de Mazarron continues to establish itself as a top destination in Spain for sports tourism, whether in the water, on wheels, on foot, or even on horseback.
