We can finally say it, It’s race day in Ibiza! The 2023 Multisport Sprint Duathlon gets underway with the male duathletes from 16 to 29, the first on the start line today, from 8am CET, while the first Age-Group females will kick off ten minutes later. It’s a 5km run, 20km bike and 2.5km run that awaits the elites, uphill out of town then snaking around Santa Eulalia harbour on foot before a 3-lap bike, up-and-back bike with a rolling incline, a pan-flat final run to the tape. There will be a finish line camera so if you are not lucky enough to be in Ibiza, you can watch it on TriathlonLIVE.tv. Get ready for a full day of duathlon action, and watch this space for updates during the day!
