Since
2004, the Catalan Triathlon Federation in collaboration with
the excellent L'Ampolla town council (Ajuntament de L'Ampolla),
and with the support of the main regional public sports institutions
has been organizing the IRONCAT sporting event, in long distance
mode.
From
the very first edition, the IRONCAT project has given great
enthusiasm to the Catalan Triathlon Federation, who continues
to pursue its desire to excel both on a personal and on an
organizational level year after year.
These
two words, Enthusiasm and Excelling would be meaningless without
the most important part of IRONCAT, you, the triathletes.
The personal side of IRONCAT. For this reason we would like
to invite you to participate in the IRONCAT experience, and
spark the Enthusiasm of those who have not yet participated,
and for those who already have, to Excel above your last personal
best time.
IRONCAT is an event that strongly encourages those participants
who would not normally opt for this distance to try it out
for the following reasons:
• Location and easy-access.
•
Price of entry.
•
Personalized treatment.
•
Flat terrain of course.
•
Great atmosphere.
•
Surroundings of L'Ampolla
town and national park area of Delta del Ebro.
•
Accommodation and eating out

and around the Delta del Ebro.
