Triathlon Porto Colom

The Triathlon Portocolom returns on Sunday 11 April 2027 for its 29th edition, according to the organiser. The race starts and finishes in Portocolom, on Majorca’s south-east coast, and combines a swim in the bay, a road bike leg and a run. Athletes can choose between two distances: the 55.5 and the 111.

Routes and distances

• 55.5 distance: 500 m swim, 50 km bike, 5 km run
• 111 distance: 1 km swim, 100 km bike, 10 km run

Athletes complete two laps of each circuit, except for the swim. Both races use a rolling start: the 111 begins at 8:45 and the 55.5 at 11:00. In the 2025 edition, the bike leg of the 111 included two climbs of Puig de Sant Salvador, according to local press.

Registration

The organiser lists an online registration for the 2027 edition on its website. Prices and participant limits for 2027 have not been confirmed, so check the official website before booking.

Why race it

The event is organised by Kumulus and Club Triatló Portocolom, with the support of the Felanitx town council. In the 2025 edition, the 111 finished at the Club Nàutic de Portocolom, so the swim in the bay, the finish and the town all sit close together.

Where to stay

Portocolom is a small harbour town, and on race weekend the smartest move is to sleep close to the bay. Arriving on the Saturday lets you collect your bib without rushing, rack your bike and walk the swim course in daylight, while a short transfer on Sunday morning keeps the 8:45 start of the 111 (or the 11:00 start of the 55.5) calm. After the finish, the quiet roads around Felanitx and Santanyí make an easy spin to loosen the legs. These cycling-friendly places are all within a few kilometres of the start.

Hotel Vistamar – in Portocolom. The closest option, on the seafront a few metres from the marina, so the swim and the finish area are on your doorstep. It has a dedicated bike storage room, a tool workshop and a bike-wash area, and the staff can prepare personalised routes. Two outdoor pools and a spa with an indoor pool and Jacuzzi are there for recovery once the run is done.

Hotel Cala Murada – Cala Murada, about 4 km from the start. A calm, pine-shaded hotel with a Bronze-certified cycling room where bikes can be stored securely and set up with the tools provided. A buffet breakfast and a large pool make it a relaxed, good-value choice, and the Sant Salvador climb that features in the bike course starts almost from the door.

Petit Hotel Sant Miquel – Only adults – Santanyí, about 5 km from the start. This boutique hotel opened in 2018 and has a rooftop pool, a solarium and free on-site parking. Bike wash, repair supplies and massage are listed, and the municipality has waymarked 12 road routes, handy for a shake-out ride before the race.

Agroturismo Can Gaia – Portocolom, about 6 km from the start. A 12-room farmhouse dating from 1773, set on more than 100,000 m² of countryside. Breakfast uses produce from its own garden, bikes sit in a secured Cycling Friendly area with tools, and laundry and a pool with jacuzzi take care of kit and tired legs.

Hotel Club Calimera Es Talaial – Cala d’Or, about 7 km from the start. A larger resort with its own cycling centre: secure storage, professional tools, bike wash, laundry, guided tours and route maps. Massage, spa and all-inclusive options suit triathletes travelling with family or training partners.
