Wintertriathlon Reinosa

In 2015 fand in der Stadt Reinosa die Europameisterschaft Wintertriathlon statt, in 2016 wird dort der European Cup durchgeführt. Die Europäische Triathlon Union (ETU) hat diese ikonische spanische Gemeinde gewählt, die eine lange Geschichte in der Ausrichtung von Wintertriathlon hat.

Reinosa, a pretty municipality, in the northern autonomous region of Cantabria. 30th January 2016 is the date for your diaries.
If you head to Santander, the Capital of Cantabria, Reinosa is 40km north and close to the spring that forms the longest river in Spain, the Ebro. Reinosa has been organising winter tri events since 1990 and has seen cycling legends such as Pedro Delgado take part.
In order to ensure the quality of the course, the event has never tried to keep the run and MTB on snow. Instead the run and bike course will be on asphalt but, just to make it more interesting, will be a 10k run, then a 24k bike on roads that will lead the athletes from Reinosa up and up to the ski resort, Alto Campoo. This is one of the biggest ski resorts in the region and will involve a good climb up from the run course. The final section is a 10k cross-country ski.
