Ibiza 2023 - the World Triathlon Multisport Championships in numbers

Introducing Aquathlon

One of the simplest and most accessible forms of multisport, aquathlon consists of two legs, a 1km swim followed by 5km run.

Aquathlon is an excellent way for newcomers to enter the world of multisport, and for experienced triathletes to add something different to their race routines.

There are a wealth of aquathlon races organised throughout the year of varying distances and forms. During the colder months, pool-based aquathlons are often held, for example. During the summer, evening and weekend aquathlon race series are held by many triathlon clubs, and junior and youth races are also held (although with shorter swim and run distances dependent on age) in both pools and open water.

In 2019, Aquathlon was added to the schedule of the World Beach Games and at the 2022 Aquathlon World Championships in Samorin, Mark Devay of Hungary took the men’s title, Germany’s Celine Kaiser the women’s.

The 2023 World Triathlon Multisports Championships will be held in Ibiza, Spain, from 29 April - 7 May.
