Triatlón María de Villota 2026

Triatlón María de Villota is a small Santander race series based on the Magdalena Peninsula, with a mile race and a triathlon sharing the same event. The mile is held annually in the city, while the triathlon is a newer addition to the program. Both races honor María de Villota, the Spanish Formula 1 driver, and connect the sporting day with the charitable work carried on through her legacy. The course details in the source are limited, but the setting is clear: athletes race at La Magdalena, the peninsula that sits by Santander’s bay. The event draws a modest field rather than a huge crowd, with fewer than 200 finishers across the two races in the reported edition: 142 in the mile and 45 in the triathlon. Santander backs the event, and the Legado María de Villota was created to spread María’s values and continue her support work with sick people and other groups.
