Long Course Weekend Mallorca’s Race entry is now open.

Race entry to the three-day sporting event in Mallorca opened on Monday.

Long Course Weekend Mallorca is the new addition to the ever-growing Long Course Weekend family. The event originated in Tenby, and in 2017 both Jervis Bay, Australia and Alcudia, Mallorca, will hold their own versions of the race.

Long Course Weekend is a three-day sporting festival where athletes swim on Friday, cycle on Saturday and run on Sunday. There is a multitude of distances and a special fourth medal for those that enter the Full Long Course Weekend and do the Long distance every day.

Matthew Evans, of Long Course Weekend, said: “We are delighted to have been able to come here to Mallorca and secure this slot in the race calendar. Long Course Weekend is very much an experience and allows a range of people to get involved in the weekend. We will be working very closely with the local community to ensure the Mallorca Experience is unparalleled.

“Our race partner in Mallorca is Kumulus who have delivered world class events for many years now on the island, including The Palma Marathon.”

David Thompson, of Kumulus, said: “We are delighted to be bringing this race to Mallorca next November. The concept is so inclusive and we think we certainly have a game changer on our hands here in Alcudia. The stage is magnificent, the accommodation and travel is great value in November and many athletes from all over the world will be coming here for some winter sun.”

Entries are expected to fill very quickly. To register your interest or for more information, you can visit www.lcwmallorca.com
