Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, offers one of Europe’s most compelling Full Distance Triathlon experiences. With a calm, single-loop 3.8 km swim in Ulibarri-Gamboa Lake, a 180.2 km bike course that winds through the Álava region and along the Camino de Santiago, and a flat, fast 42.2 km run through a crowd-filled city center, this course demands not only endurance but smart, targeted preparation.
