Triatlón María de Villota is a small triathlon on the Magdalena Peninsula in Santander, held alongside the annual Milla María de Villota. The triathlon is still young, with only a few editions completed, while the sister mile race provides the weekend with its established local foundation.
The setting is compact and easy to visualize: racing is focused on Santander’s Magdalena Peninsula, not spread across a large regional course. The event honors María de Villota, in memory of the Spanish Formula 1 driver, and links to Legado María de Villota, the initiative established to share her values and continue her charitable work. Recent participation has been modest, with the mile and triathlon combined drawing fewer than 200 finishers, including a small triathlon field.
