A tour of the town of Baiona
The I Solidarity Vertiathlon of Baiona will begin with the swimming test, in which the participants must swim the distance that separates the beaches of Barbeira and A Ribeira. Both sandbanks are located in the urban center of the town of Baiona, at the foot of the wall that surrounds the Monte Boi peninsula, separated by the facilities of the Monte Real Yacht Club.
At the end of the swim, the participants will pick up their bikes on the basketball courts in the La Palma area and prepare for the second of the tests, the cyclist, which will include four laps between two of the roundabouts that give access to Baiona , that of Baredo and that of Santa Marta.
The last of the sprint triathlon tests will be the foot race, and it will be held in one of the most visited places in Baiona, the Parador Nacional. Athletes must complete two laps of the walled enclosure of the Monterreal peninsula, also known as the Monte Boi peninsula.
The competition will begin at five in the afternoon and the awards ceremony will be held at eight in the facilities of the Monte Real Club de Yates.
The Adapted Sailing School of the Monte Real Yacht Club
The money raised from the registrations for the I Baiona Solidarity Vertiathlon will go entirely to the Adapted Sailing School of the Monte Real Yacht Club, created in 2012 to bring the world of sailing closer to people with disabilities.
After the first few years serving associations and groups in Val Miñor, Tomiño and A Guarda, the school is currently seeking to expand with the aim of being able to offer these adapted navigation courses to centers throughout Galicia.
