The sporting event, for which today there are already 200 registered participants and is expected to reach about 280, many from other regions, will start at 10.30 am and consists of three parts: 750 meter swim to be held in the waters of the Port, 20 kilometers bike, with three laps on a circuit that will go from Heroes Square to the tunnel Cavite Cala Cortina, and 5 km run, where the route is the one who will suffer a small change from the previous edition, reaching for the bicycle lane to the Plaza Bastarreche and around the Sea Wall

The categories range from participating Veterans Cadet 3, and in regard to awards, do not give cash because, according to Miguel Lopez and found that, in this way, the test is more contested and exciting and does not decrease quality sports participants.

In this edition of Cartagena City Triathlon has also incorporated a standard Civic, and will be strictly prohibited for participants shed non-organic solid waste during the test, assuming otherwise, your immediate disqualification.

The idea is that athletes set an example and respect the environment.

Thus the tour is enabled in a stretch of 200 meters that will provide supplies and, in turn, have to discharge the waste containers such as plastic bottles or paper wrappers.

Interested participants can register at a price of 17 euros, on the web www.trimurcia.org
