2026 World Triathlon Para Championships Pontevedra

Pontevedra hosted the World Triathlon Para Championships in late September, featuring swim-bike-run races on Friday and a Para Mixed Relay on Sunday. These events were part of the broader World Triathlon Championship Finals, which determined world titles across Elite, U23, Junior, Para Triathlon, Age-Group, Aquabike, sprint, standard-distance, and relay categories. The para course featured distinct swim-bike-run and mixed-relay circuits, structuring the weekend around both individual and team competitions. The event attracted top paratriathletes globally, alongside age-group athletes competing on the same championship course as the professionals. Pontevedra, the hometown of five-time world champion Javi Gomez Noya, has previously hosted the Grand Final, adding to its significance in triathlon.
