Caminha Long Distance Triathlon

Triatlo Longo de Caminha is a Portuguese long-distance triathlon held in Caminha, with its race hub at Praça Conselheiro Silva Torres in the town center. Typically taking place in May, it holds national-championship status. Individual athletes compete for the middle-distance triathlon title, while clubs vie for the long-distance club championship. The event, which began in 2013, is organized by Associação Triatlo de Caminha and sanctioned by the Federação de Triatlo de Portugal. The course utilizes Caminha’s unique location where river, mountain, and coast converge, giving the race a rugged character distinct from a flat city triathlon. While specific turn-by-turn directions are not provided, the course is described as demanding, shaped by the natural terrain. It attracts both athletes focused on championships and club teams, with support from the Municipality of Caminha, the local triathlon association, and the national federation.
