The Calvià race already received this award in 2019 and 2022 Challenge Peguera Mallorca also receives two other awards

THE CHALLENGE PEGUERA MALLORCA INTERNATIONAL TRIATHLON, CHOSEN AS THE BEST RACE IN THE WORLD OF THE CHALLENGE FAMILY CIRCUIT.

Challenge Peguera Mallorca has been recognised as the best race in the world at the Challenge Family Awards 2024, the results of which were announced on Tuesday. The Calvià race has also obtained two other awards: best finish line and best Pasta Party. In total, the race started with nine nominations, in the twelve categories that make up these awards. 

Best race of the year

Challenge Peguera Mallorca obtains an outstanding rating in the evaluation of the athletes. Statistics give it an average score of Excellence, standing out in such significant sections as 'spectacular destination and environment', 'excellent associated services', 'wide range of activities and products for participants and companions', 'well-configured remaining circuits that capture the essence of the environment', 'a serious and athlete-focused organisation', and a helpful volunteering team, notable for their kindness and joy. 

The CHALLENGE FAMILY AWARDS, created in 2019, aim to recognise the best events and organising teams in different sections related to the management of the races that are part of the franchise. The nominations for each of the categories are established based on the analysis of the participants' surveys, and the athletes' votes define the final result. In addition, the 31 races that are part of the brand's world circuit, including Quebec, Taiwan, New Jersey, Barcelona, ​​or Amsterdam, compete each year for the BEST CHFAMILY RACE OF THE YEAR award, which the Calvià event had already won twice before: 2019 and 2022. 

The best race chosen by the best athletes

Beyond the awards and the results of the surveys, one detail that confirms the quality of the event is the great cast of illustrious triathletes who have chosen the race in its ten years of existence. Challenge Peguera Mallorca can boast of having had some of the world's triathlon stars so far. Olympic medallists such as Lisa Norden, Nicola Spirig and Alistair Brownlee, long-distance world champions such as Pablo Dapena and Alexandra Tondeur, current triathlon stars such as Magnus Ditlev or Imogen Simmonds, or the best Balearic triathlete of all times, Mario Mola, have been some of the sports figures who have chosen Peguera to compete.

 A direct recognition of the municipality of Calvià

One of the main characteristics of Challenge Peguera Mallorca is its configuration as a strategic project for the municipality. The different agents that make up the event - public institutions, hotel and commercial associations, sports and social fabric (clubs, associations,...), and citizens - work together to develop the project. Meanwhile, other entities such as the Balearic or the Spanish Triathlon Federation provide support. And finally, local, national and international companies support with contributions a project that has already become a benchmark for sports tourism in Calvià.
