Also this weekend
Only the 100km T100 distance is confirmed for Marbella so far. Most T100 venues also run Olympic, Sprint and Super Sprint distances alongside the 100km, but none of these have been announced for Marbella specifically — don't assume they'll be offered until the organiser confirms it.
Leg 1 of 3
Swim — 2km
Described by the organiser only as a sea swim off 'Marbella's golden beaches' — no specific beach, marina or course layout has been published yet. Marbella hosted IRONMAN 70.3 for six consecutive years through 2025 (including that race's World Championship), with a swim that exited at Levante Beach, Puerto Banús — a plausible venue for T100 given the shared local infrastructure, but this has not been confirmed for T100 2027, so treat it as informed speculation rather than fact.
- Venue
- A sea swim off Marbella's beaches (exact beach not yet named)
- Elevation gain
- No official figure published — see notes above
- Surface
- Sea — open water off a Mediterranean beach.
Wetsuit: Not published for Marbella specifically. Applying the general T100/World Triathlon banding (mandatory below 15.9°C, prohibited above 24.6°C) against Marbella's typical September sea temperature of 22-24°C puts the race inside the optional band most years, though this hasn't been confirmed by the organiser.
Leg 2 of 3
Bike — 80km
Described by the organiser as hilly, on roads leading up into the mountains behind Marbella — a genuinely different profile from 2026's flat inland Pamplona course. No route map has been published yet.
- Venue
- Roads into the hills above Marbella
- Elevation gain
- No official figure published — see notes above
- Surface
- Road — hilly, per the organiser's own description.
Non-drafting
Leg 3 of 3
Run — 18km
Described by the organiser as 'lightly undulating,' back at sea level, finishing at a festival-style venue. No route map has been published yet.
- Venue
- Marbella seafront
- Elevation gain
- No official figure published — see notes above
- Surface
- Road — lightly undulating, per the organiser.
Transitions
Not yet published for Marbella. The 2026 Pamplona race ran a point-to-point course with separate T1 and T2 sites rather than a single shared transition — whether Marbella follows the same pattern or uses one beachfront transition (more typical of a coastal T100 venue) is unconfirmed.

Where T100 Spain starts and finishes
T100 Spain starts at Marbella's beachfront (exact swim/transition venue not yet announced) and finishes at A sea swim off Marbella's beaches (exact beach not yet named). We haven't been able to place those on a map accurately enough to show one — a pin in the wrong place is worse than no pin.
These are the start and finish points, not the route. Verus doesn't hold course files for this race, and drawing a line between two pins would be a guess you might end up training on.
Entry & Ballot
Direct entry summary
Marbella was announced in mid-2026 as the new host under a multi-year (2027-2029) agreement between the PTO and the Spanish Triathlon Federation — a longer commitment than the single-year deals that produced the Oropesa-then-Pamplona venue changes. Entry is currently at 'Priority Access' sign-up only, with no pricing published.
Ballot policy
Not a ballot — priority access sign-up now, with full registration to follow.

Race Day Info & Checklist
On the day
- Marbella is a genuinely experienced triathlon host, not a first-timer — it ran IRONMAN 70.3 for six consecutive years through the 2025 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship, before that race relocated to nearby Málaga for 2026. That gives the town real large-scale road-closure and transition experience, even though T100 itself hasn't raced there before.
- The Spain 'slot' on the T100 calendar has moved city every year since the series launched — Oropesa del Mar (2025), Pamplona (2026), Marbella (2027-2029 under the new agreement) — so don't assume this venue is permanent, but the multi-year deal is a stronger signal of stability than prior years had.
- Top 10 per age group and gender in the 100km distance qualify for the Qatar T100 World Championship Finals, per the general T100 qualification structure the organiser states for this race.
- 2026 Pamplona precedent, NOT confirmed for Marbella: race pack included a security wristband, bike/helmet numbers, race number, body-marking tattoos and a mandatory swim cap; wetsuit rule was framed as optional 15.9-24.6°C water, compulsory outside that band; a free athlete shuttle ran to the swim start with a separate paid spectator shuttle.
Checklist
- A wetsuit, pending confirmation of the water-temperature call for a September Marbella swim
- Bike checked and race-ready, given the organiser's own description of a hilly bike leg
- Run shoes and nutrition for the 80km bike and 18km run legs
- Sun protection for a Mediterranean September race weekend
- A close eye on the official site as course maps and logistics are published — this is a genuinely new venue with most specifics still to come

Not published for this event.
Not published for this event — expect road closures through Marbella and into the hills for the bike leg, similar in scale to the town's IRONMAN 70.3 years, but no official detail exists yet.

Where to stay
Marbella old town / seafront
+ Likely closest to the race village once venue details are confirmed, and a well-established resort town with plenty of accommodation.
– A popular destination generally — book early for race weekend regardless of exact venue.
Puerto Banús
+ A short drive from central Marbella, with its own hotel and dining scene.
– Distance to the actual race venue is unconfirmed until course details are published.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is T100 Spain 2027?
18-19 September 2027, in Marbella — a new venue for the series, confirmed under a multi-year (2027-2029) agreement with the Spanish Triathlon Federation.
Has T100 Spain always been in Marbella?
No — the Spain slot has moved every year: Oropesa del Mar hosted in 2025, Pamplona in 2026, and Marbella from 2027. Don't assume any Spain-specific detail from an earlier year carries over, since the venue and course change each time.
What distance does T100 Spain offer?
Only the full 100km T100 distance (2km swim/80km bike/18km run) has been confirmed for Marbella so far. Whether Olympic, Sprint or Super Sprint options will also run hasn't been announced.
Is the T100 Spain bike course hilly?
Yes, per the organiser's own description — the 80km route heads up into the hills above Marbella, a different profile from 2026's flat inland Pamplona course.
Has Marbella hosted triathlons before?
Yes — it ran IRONMAN 70.3 for six consecutive years through the 2025 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship, before that race moved to nearby Málaga for 2026. T100 itself is new to the town, but the town isn't new to hosting a race this size.
Can you qualify for a World Championship at T100 Spain?
Yes — the 100km distance is a qualifier for the Qatar T100 World Championship Finals, with the organiser advertising 10 slots per age group, per the general T100 qualification structure.
When were T100 Spain results published?
Not before the race happens — results appear here (and via the official results source) once the 2027 edition is complete.
