A Proven Legacy of Hosting
Banyoles has been a key player in European triathlon for more than a decade. Since 2011, the city has hosted a series of successful international and national triathlon events under the Europe Triathlon calendar. In 2021, Banyoles was officially designated a “Preferred Triathlon City” by FETRI, becoming the only permanent venue on the Spanish national calendar. As FETRI noted, “Banyoles is the only permanent venue on our national calendar, thanks to its unique natural environment and the strong collaboration between federation and city.”
A Championship of Unity and Inclusion
The Europe Triathlon Multisport Championships represent the spirit of our community—bringing together age group athletes, elite competitors, and paratriathletes in one place, over two weeks of celebration and competition. This event reinforces Banyoles’ role as a continental hub for multisport and provides a significant boost to local tourism, visibility, and economic impact.
The strategic alignment between Europe Triathlon, FETRI, and the City of Banyoles ensures a world-class experience for athletes, teams, and spectators alike.
Marc D’hooge, President of Europe Triathlon, expressed his enthusiasm for the announcement: “Banyoles is a place where our sport thrives—on a competitive, organisational, and community level. We are proud to return to this iconic venue for the 2026 Multisport Championships. The commitment shown by the local authorities and FETRI is exemplary, and we are confident that this edition will once again reflect the very best of European triathlon.”
Europe Triathlon would like to thank FETRI and the City of Banyoles for their continued trust, partnership, and dedication to the development of our sport. Their shared vision makes events like this possible and inspires the future of multisport in Europe.
We invite all athletes, federations, coaches, and fans to join us in Banyoles in July 2026 for a historic celebration of European multisport in one of its most emblematic venues.
