Plan your race pace

The international triathlon in Capdepera returns to Mallorca’s eastern coast on Sunday, March 21, 2027. The start is scheduled for 9 a.m. at Son Moll beach in Cala Ratjada. The event offers two individual formats, SMALL and LARGE, as well as a LARGE team option.

Registration is open, with the fee depending on the format and the registration period. From October 1 to December 31, 2026, the listed price for individual SMALL is 71.40 euros; individual LARGE costs 141.80 euros, while the LARGE team entry is 158.80 euros. Non-federated athletes must add the applicable one-day insurance fee.

A March race beside the Mediterranean

The event takes place in the municipality of Capdepera, in northeastern Mallorca, with the start at Platja de Son Moll, Cala Ratjada. The coastal setting is part of its appeal, but the event is first and foremost a three-discipline competition: swimming, cycling and running. The municipality and the exact start location should not be confused: Cala Ratjada is the coastal town where the beach is located.

The 2027 edition is described as the event’s 15th international staging. Its date, March 21, places it at the beginning of spring, when conditions may be cooler than in summer. Available listings put the start at 9 a.m. local time, although the schedule for each format and practical race-day details should be checked against the latest regulations.

A Mediterranean setting does not guarantee specific sea or air conditions. In March, wind, water conditions and changing weather can affect the experience, particularly during the swim and bike legs. The scenery and race logistics are separate considerations: one defines the setting, while the other depends on conditions and the organiser’s instructions.

SMALL, LARGE and the team option

The event offers three choices: individual SMALL, individual LARGE and team LARGE. This gives participants a choice between two levels of individual challenge or the chance to share the event across several people in the team format. Relaying between disciplines creates a different experience from racing individually, and each participant should check the rules that apply to their team.

The available information does not specify the kilometres for each leg or the exact relay arrangements. A third-party listing describes the options as 40- and 80-kilometre overall courses, but that figure does not replace the official swimming, cycling and running distances. The 2027 event regulations are the key source for leg distances and team rules.

The event is designed for a range of athletes, from those looking to enter a triathlon for the first time to those seeking a tougher distance. That does not mean the formats have identical demands or are interchangeable. The choice should take into account experience in all three disciplines, available training time and the ability to sustain effort throughout the day.

In a triathlon, transitions are part of the challenge. Moving from the swim to the bike and then from the bike to the run calls for organisation and physical adaptation, even when the course is not especially technical. In the team event, coordination and a clean handover have their own importance. The regulations should explain how those changes work and what equipment is allowed in each transition area.

Entry fees and how prices change

Fees rise in stages, so the price depends on when registration is completed. For individual SMALL, the listed prices are 51.40 euros from July 3 to 11, 2026; 61.40 euros from July 12 to September 30; 71.40 euros from October 1 to December 31; 81.40 euros from January 1 to February 28, 2027; and 91.40 euros from March 1 to 8.

For individual LARGE, the listed prices for those same periods are 108.80, 121.80, 141.80, 153.80 and 173.80 euros, respectively. Team LARGE has a separate price structure: 158.80 euros from July 3 to December 31, 2026, and 183.80 euros from January 1 to March 8, 2027. The entry fee is described as including the timing chip and administration costs, as well as participation.

Prices on other event websites do not match this breakdown exactly, perhaps because of differences in updates, commissions or registration terms. The detailed entry-fee schedule is the most specific information available, but the final amount should be confirmed during the official registration process. The information consulted says registration closes on March 8, 2027, unless the organiser announces a change beforehand.

Non-federated participants must add one-day insurance: 10 euros for an individual and 5 euros per person in a team. The final cost may therefore differ from the base entry fee. The published terms also say that switching to a longer format after registering requires payment of the price difference plus a 10-euro administration fee; the current conditions should be checked before making a change.

The course: three disciplines and regulations to follow

The swim starts in the area around Son Moll, a beach in Cala Ratjada. Racing in the sea differs from swimming in a pool, but the setting alone cannot predict water temperature, waves or conditions on race day. The organiser may set safety measures or make changes depending on conditions, so pre-race water-safety information is particularly important.

The cycling leg follows. Triathlon bike courses can use a mix of town roads and routes through the municipality or nearby areas. Without a detailed official course map, it would be unwise to claim a specific profile, elevation gain or route. The available listing names SMALL and LARGE formats but does not provide a full map or individual leg distances; those details can significantly affect preparation and choices of bike and gearing.

The run completes the race and tests an athlete’s ability to run on tired legs after cycling. A coastal route may offer open sightlines and exposed stretches, but there is not enough precise information to confirm the 2027 course surface or layout. Organiser-published maps can show whether the course has laps, turns, changes in surface or aid stations.

Tourism descriptions of the island are no substitute for a race map. Nor should a third-party review placing the event at a different beach or town be treated as a confirmed route: listings do not agree on every detail. The most consistent start location in the information available is Son Moll, in Cala Ratjada, within the municipality of Capdepera. The official regulations should take precedence for the bike leg, run and finish location.

Registration, changes and cancellation dates

Participants must register in advance, and entries are tied to the person who signs up: the published terms say they are personal and non-transferable. The stated deadline is March 8, 2027. The available information does not give the race-bib collection times, exact collection venue or full documentation requirements, so those details should be confirmed when the participant guide is released.

The cancellation policy gives specific deadlines. A 100% refund is listed for cancellations up to August 31, 2026; an 80% refund with insurance is listed through January 15, 2027, and cancellations from January 16 onward are not eligible for a refund. Since the first deadline has passed, anyone registering later should carefully review the terms applying to their purchase and check what the insurance covers.

The listing also allows a switch to a longer format by paying the price difference and a 10-euro administration fee. That is not the same as freely transferring a race entry, nor does it guarantee that every change can be made at any time: capacity, deadlines and organiser rules may apply. The safest approach is to treat these as published conditions and confirm they remain in force before changing an entry.

There is a minor discrepancy in the opening date: one description says registration began on July 1, while the fee schedule sets the first price period from July 3 to 11. The difference does not change the fact that registration is listed as open in October 2026, but it shows why a general opening date and the actual promotional-fee window should not be confused. If in doubt, follow the registration system’s calendar.

What to expect in Capdepera in March

Capdepera lies at Mallorca’s northeastern tip, and Cala Ratjada is one of its best-known coastal communities. Son Moll places participants close to the sea and an area of beaches and coves, but a race does not automatically make the trip a summer holiday. March can bring sunny, mild days as well as wind and changing weather; planning clothing and travel with some flexibility is more sensible than relying on climate averages.

The race schedule also shapes the stay. With the start set for early morning, staying near the venue may simplify travel and reduce the risk of delays. The available information does not recommend a hotel district or specify accommodation terms, so the choice depends on availability, budget and transport. Check the actual distance to the beach before booking.

For visitors arriving from elsewhere on Mallorca, travel to the northeast should be part of the plan. Triathlon equipment takes more space than an everyday bag: a bike, helmet, wetsuit if permitted and post-race clothing all require transport and storage planning. The organiser may publish specific rules for equipment and transition areas; bringing gear without checking restrictions can complicate access.

The local setting is a bonus, not a guarantee that every business or service will operate on peak-season hours. Restaurants, transport and shops may have different schedules in March. Spectators can explore the waterfront and town, but athletes will need to know the start and finish locations, parking arrangements and meeting points shared by the organiser.

Preparation and expectations for a triathlon

With two distances and a team alternative, choosing the right challenge calls for an honest assessment of ability. Comfort in just one discipline is not enough: triathlon combines different efforts, and fatigue from cycling changes how the run feels. General preparation usually involves steady work in swimming, cycling and running, as well as transition practice, but suitable volume and intensity depend on each athlete’s experience and condition.

Temperature and wind figures based on past years are guides, not a forecast for March 21, 2027. Monthly averages may describe typical weather without predicting a particular morning on the coast. During race week, the forecast and organiser updates will be more useful for choosing clothing, hydration and pacing than an isolated historical figure.

Safety deserves as much attention as performance. Participants should understand the swim rules and cycling instructions, follow course controls and avoid using new equipment for the first time on race day. Permitted kit, drafting rules, cut-off times and procedures for course changes are all matters to check in the regulations, not infer from the SMALL or LARGE labels.

In the team event, each member should also know which discipline they are covering, where to wait and how the handover works. The team fee is published as a combined amount, but one-day insurance for non-federated participants is charged at 5 euros per person. Agreeing on travel and equipment handovers in advance helps avoid confusion in a transition area where every minute and movement matters.

Details to confirm before race day

The key available information places the event on March 21, 2027, at 9 a.m., starting at Platja de Son Moll in Cala Ratjada, within the municipality of Capdepera. There are three formats, registration is listed as open through March 8, and fees vary. Official course maps, discipline distances, bib collection times, aid stations and team rules still need to be checked before making final decisions.

It is also worth checking the amount displayed in the registration form, as the current price tier and one-day insurance may change the total. Individual SMALL costs 71.40 euros from October to December; individual LARGE is 141.80 euros, and team LARGE is 158.80 euros, before any applicable insurance. The final amount depends on the format and federation status, not on a single figure copied from an external race calendar.

The event will bring individual athletes and teams to the coast of Capdepera, with the Mediterranean as a backdrop to three linked disciplines. The experience will depend on the final course and weather as well as preparation and transition management. In a March race, the scenery may draw the eye towards the sea; the regulations and the clock, however, set the day’s real pace.
