Triatlón Internacional Villa de Fuente Álamo is a short-course triathlon held in Fuente Álamo, within Spain’s Murcia region, typically in early May. Competitors swim 750 meters, cycle 25 km on roads, and run 5 km on roads, making it a swift event that still fully tests all three triathlon disciplines. The participant count can exceed 900, drawing competitors from numerous locations beyond the immediate vicinity.
The event has taken place for over thirty years and is a consistent fixture on Spain’s national triathlon schedule. Its execution relies on a substantial team of volunteers and collaborators, and local reporting frames the day as a triathlon festival alongside the competition. Recent events have indicated that the concluding run segment can determine the victors, particularly when wind conditions complicate control during the cycling leg.
