Europe Triathlon

Over 1,400 athletes from 23 countries set to compete from May 15–17 in a record-breaking and environmentally conscious event

The stage is set in Pamplona, Spain, as the city prepares to host the 2025 Europe Triathlon Middle Distance, Aquabike, and Aquathlon Championships. From May 15 to 17, the vibrant streets of Pamplona and the natural beauty of the Alloz Reservoir and Tierra Estella region will welcome more than 1,400 athletes from 23 nations, marking a decade of triathlon celebration with the 10th anniversary of the Half Triathlon Pamplona Iruña.
This milestone edition brings together elite and Age Group athletes across three European Championship events: Aquathlon, Middle Distance Triathlon, and Aquabike. It’s a historic moment not only for Pamplona but for the entire Navarre region, which continues to establish itself as a premier destination for international triathlon competition.

• On May 15, more than 350 athletes will take to the start line for the European Aquathlon Championships.

A Championship with a Sustainable Soul

In 2025, Europe Triathlon and the local organising committee will put sustainability at the heart of the event. A comprehensive set of environmentally conscious initiatives has been put in place to reduce impact and raise awareness:

• Eco-friendly cups at all aid stations
• Reusable cycling bottles provided to all participants
• Dedicated waste collection zones across all race venues
• An environmental education campaign targeting athletes, spectators, and the broader community

Athletes are encouraged to lead by example by respecting nature and the urban environment that makes this race experience so unique.
