An extreme triathlon
In Hispaman Xtreme Triathlon the athletes face 3.8 km of swimming, 180 km of cycling with an elevation gain of 3,400 meters and 42 km of running with 2,000 meters of cumulative elevation gain.
A very tough challenge that tested the physical and mental strength of the athletes in a challenge that begins at the Nort Beach, near to the Peñíscola Castle, and finished in Vistabella del Maestrat, at an altitude of 1,250 meters.
A journey between nature and history Inspired by the essence of triathlon, Hispaman Xtreme Triathlon goes back to the roots of the sport and the tradition of the lands it crosses. It is a demanding, long-distance triathlon to compete with oneself; an opportunity to share a life-
enriching experience with triathletes from around the world.

The triathletes, always accompanied by their supporters, have to complete the swimming circuit at dawn around the majestic Peñíscola's Castle. After the swimming, the cycling circuit ends in Culla. Finally, the last obstacle is the race course: a mountain marathon that crosses the Natural Park of Penyagolosa until reaching the finish line in Vistabella del Maestrat.
