You can find lots of competitions in all kinds of sports at all levels both in Ibiza and its neighbouring island of Formentera. Take a look at our selection of the best sporting events to be held in Ibiza in the coming months. One of these may be the perfect excuse you have been looking for to come and spend some time on Ibiza!
Let’s start with something a little sedate, just to get the engines running. The distances involved in the IX Triathlon of Cala Bassa are 750 m swimming, 13 km on mountain bike and a 4 km road run. You can register for this race here.
There is a wharf near our hotel on Playa d’en Bossa from where boats sail to the nearby island of Formentera. The average crossing time is half an hour, which makes the hotel Torre del Mar an ideal choice for accommodation if you are running in the XII Triathlon of Formentera, but you also want to enjoy the atmosphere of Ibiza. This race consists of three classes in terms of distance (Olympic, sprint and team races). The registration period for the race is not open yet, but we advise you to keep an eye on the web page of Club de Atletismo de Ibiza.
The first stage of this XVI edition of the Ibiza cycle race will set out from Sant Antoni de Portmany on 12th October. It will cover 87 km with an accumulated elevation of 1,245m, with a 3.6 km time trial in the Cala Vadella area. The route will take participants through many inland towns, such as Sant Rafel, Santa Gertrudis, Sant Jordi, Sant Josep, Es Cubells and Sant Agustí, as well as the marine nature parks such as Es Vedrá, the Illots de Ponent or the Ses Salines Nature Park. The lists for participating in this cycle race across Ibiza are not available yet. Keep an eye on the web page!
If the vuelta cicloturista in Ibiza was not enough for you, we recommend that you enter the BTT Volta Cicloturista de Formentera, whose first stage starts on 26 October. The race will be held in three stages, starting and ending in the town of Sant Francesc Xavier. More information and registrations here.
In Ibiza, the “summer season” continues right to the end of October. Can you think of any better way of ending the summer than competing in the Ibiza Trail Marathon? This is a sporting event that has nationwide reach and attracts elite competitors every year. The Ibiza Trail Marathon has three distinct distance categories: 10, 21 and 42 kilometres.
