Triatlón MD de Salamanca

The Triatlón MD de Salamanca starts with athletes in the Tormes River near Salamanca, then proceeds with a 70.3-style middle-distance triathlon: approximately 1.8 km swimming, 90 km cycling, and a 21.1 km run. Race details indicate the start and finish are near the Puente Romano on Paseo del Progreso, with an 8 am start. Current listings place the event in early June, though earlier editions also took place in autumn. Yomaranevents and the Federación de Triatlón de Castilla y León organize the event. The race utilizes Salamanca as its backdrop, with the Tormes River, the Roman Bridge, and views toward the cathedral contributing to a distinct local atmosphere. Approximately 200 triathletes compete in men's and women's categories. Club Triatlón Salamanca has participated in both the competition and the roadside assistance, achieving a women's club victory and a men's club second-place finish. The event has also featured Olympic-distance races and Aquabike, catering to a wider range of athletes beyond just half-distance specialists. One local account mentioned a cold, rainy morning but also highlighted the event's significant return to the city for triathlon.
