12/5/2026 – The Councilor for Sports of the Fuengirola City Council, Julio Rodríguez, held a press conference today to inform about the celebration of the I Triathlon ‘Ciudad de Fuengirola’, which will take place this Saturday, May 16 and will bring together 300 registered athletes, in addition to the participation of a hundred volunteers in the organization of the event.
The competition will start at 9:00 a.m. and will take place on a 7.5-kilometer closed circuit, starting and finishing in Plaza Pedro Cuevas, traveling through different parts of the municipality until approximately 11:00 a.m.
On the occasion of the test, the mayor has recommended residents and visitors to plan their trips in advance, since between 08:00 and 11:00 there will be traffic restrictions on different roads in the city. In addition, the urban bus service will also be affected during the development of the competition.
Specifically, the route will run through Plaza Pedro Cuevas, Paseo Marítimo towards Castillo, Churruca, Méndez Núñez and Héroes de Baler streets, as well as Santa Amalia, Condes de San Isidro, Matías Sáenz de Tejada, Ramón y Cajal, Los Boliches and Las Gaviotas avenues, as well as Las Deblas street and the Paseo Marítimo until returning again to Pedro Cuevas Square.
Likewise, from 6:00 a.m. there will also be traffic closures on Pulpo Street and around Plaza Pedro Cuevas due to the assembly work on the finish infrastructure.
Julio Rodríguez has highlighted “the importance of this new sporting event to continue positioning Fuengirola as a venue for major events”, while thanking “the collaboration and understanding of the neighbors to facilitate the correct development of the event”.
The municipal Sports Manager has also recalled that Juan Gómez Juanito, Jesús Santos Rein and Jesús Cautivo avenues will always remain open to traffic, with the aim of guaranteeing alternative routes for circulation.
On the other hand, since last week the City Council has been developing an information campaign to publicize the conditions resulting from the event. In this sense, a total of 640 local establishments and businesses have been directly informed. An explanatory video is also being disseminated through municipal social networks and the monitors on urban buses, in addition to having installed information posters along the entire route.
Finally, the councilor has asked citizens to respect the fences and signage installed, follow the instructions of the Local Police and volunteers and avoid accessing the circuit while the competition is being held.
