Over 1000 athletes will take part in this year’s GMC Vallarta 2013 Triathlon on April 28th, which will bring in an estimated capital influx of 5 million pesos.
Headed by As Deporte, organizers and community leaders held their first meeting this week in order to physically examine the tentative route.
The Triathlon will get underway at 8:00 am at the API (Integral Port Administration) with the swim portion of the competition.
The biking and running segments will tentatively close the center lanes of Francisco Medina Ascencio from Plaza Neptuno to the Agustín Flores Contreras Sports Complex. There will also be closings on the lateral road from Plaza Neptuno to Plaza Península, as well as Río Amazonas, Grandes Lagos, and Tules Streets in the Fluvial neighborhood.
The event will include both an Olympic triathlon, in which the participants swim 1500 meters, cycle 40 km, and run 10 km, as well as a Sprint triathlon, in which the participants swim, cycle, and run half those distances.
The Awards Ceremony will take place at 6:00 pm on the south side of the Malecon at the Los Arcos Open Air Theater.
We welcome these world-class athletes to our city.
