Swimming
In the BEST Centre we have more experience and better facilities than anywhere else in Europe to help triathletes improve their swimming. The 50m outdoor swimming pool is run by Olympic swimmers, we have cameras to make underwater videos and give you all the options you need to improve this discipline. There are magnificent, protected open water areas with pristine beaches and crystal clear waters on both sides of the city.
Bicycle
The island is a cyclist’s paradise due to the excellent road conditions and challenging terrain.
You can go to the Tramuntana Sierra , where you will find higher peaks than in the UK, or ride the rolling terrain around Colonia Sant Jordi on the south and east coasts. We are also only 20 kms away from the famous climbs of Sant Salvador and Randa, about 5 kms long with a slope of about 5%.
Run
There are trails through the forest behind the beach of Es Trenc in circuits of 3 km, 4 km and 6 km, as well as it is possible to run on the quiet roads on the outskirts of the city.
But nothing better than running along the wide coastal trails overlooking the island of Cabrera.
