2026 Europe Triathlon Youth Championships Melilla

The Europe Triathlon Youth Championships in Melilla takes place over two days in October, featuring young European athletes in the Spanish autonomous city on the North African coast. Europe Triathlon and the Spanish Triathlon Federation organize the event, with support from Melilla’s sports authorities. This event aligns with the city’s efforts to develop youth and grassroots triathlon. Melilla recently hosted European elite and junior sprint racing, providing recent experience with international triathlon. Organizers highlight the local climate and sports facilities as attractions. They anticipate athletes will attend with families and fans, not solely as a closed elite field. Beyond the races, visitors can explore Melilla’s food, tourism, and cultural diversity, supporting the city’s “Melilla, City of Sport” initiative.
