Madrid, Spain: For immediate release: This weekend (Sunday 19 September) will see the next round of action for the triathletes on the ITU World Cup circuit.

The 1500 meter swim will be followed by a new 8 lap, 40 km bike course with a challenging hill on each lap. The athletes will then run a 4 lap, 10 km which winds through the famous Casa de Campo. The transition area is shaded by beautiful 250 year old Taray trees.
