Welcome to the Mallorca Olympic 5 May 2012.
The Mallorca Olympic is an Olympic distance race in one of the most picturesque corners of Mallorca. Our aim is to make this the most fun race for the athletes that we can.
The setting is outstanding and the beach town of Colonia Sant Jordi in the south east corner of the island is the ideal backdrop for a beautiful course. The beaches are the most famous in Mallorca and the swim alongside Es Dolc and Es Carbo is the perfect start to a race that is ideally suited for all levels, from the first timers to the pros.
Once on the bike, you are on closed roads out through Ses Salines and past the pine and eucalyuptus woodland toward the lighthouse at the Cap de Salines. A quick turn and back the way you came returns you to Colonia Sant Jordi where you run around the coastal walkway, looking across the water to the island of Cabrera. The crowds will welcome you through the town centre and on to the Palm tree promenade and the finish by the beach.
The finish area is full of cookies, cakes, sandwiches, drinks, and then a traditional paella to enjoy by the beach. The race is on Saturday morning, so spend the weekend in the town and enjoy the company of Triathletes in a beautiful and relaxing beach resort.
The event in 2011 was great fun as 220 beginners, age groupers and pros made it to the start line in the beautiful beach town of Colonia Sant Jordi and at the end of a fast, flat race, Georg Potrebitsch, GER, (1:45.27) and Heather Jackson, GBR, (1:56.15) were our champions, taking home the trophies and 500 euros first prize. We are looking forward to another great race in 2012 and we look forward to welcoming you and 350 others to one of the most picturesque Olympic distance races of the year.

Destination of choice for Triathlon
Colonia Sant Jordi is the perfect place for a Triathlon event. The town is fast becoming the destination of choice for club and elite Triathletes. This is where Andreas Raelert and Marino Vanhoenacker trained before Hawaii 2010. This is where Normann Stadler, Jan Frodeno and Daniel Unger chose to train in the spring of this year and the list of big names in the sport that are choosing Colonia Sant Jordi is growing all the time.
Boost your respiratory system
The salt flats are a feature of the town, hence the name of the municipality: Ses Salines. A salt rich environment is well known for being beneficial to the respiratory system. To find out more about Salt therapy, or Halo Therapy, click here.
Many people who visit the town, especially swimmers and Triathletes, quickly notice the heath effect of the salt in the atmosphere.
