Triathlon Training Camps.

Luxury 2012 camps now available, click here for details.

Our training camps are aimed at triathletes preparing for their up coming seasons. Camps can be from weekend, to weeklong, to 10-day camps or longer, depending on your specific training needs.

We offer both self guided and luxury training camps and anything in between and we are open all year round. We also welcome long stay athletes. 2012 also sees a new ITU triathlon in Banyoles and there are also sprint, olympic and middle distance triathlon races which you can enter.

We have put a great deal of time and thought into our location, looking around the world for the perfect training site. Consequently, the area we have chosen has an incredible variety of beautiful rides and running trails and has an array of excellent swimming locations. The masia, were you will be staying, has all the facilities you require while training, from a 25m pool, to baths for iced bathing after training sessions, to gardens and lounges for relaxing, to turbo and weight session areas.

For open water swim training there is the crystal clear Banyoles Lake, which is only 5km from the training center. It is approximately 2km long and 0.5km wide. It is an incredible location with the volcanoes of the Garrotxa region rising from its western edge. There is also a 25m swimming pool right at the training center. Swimming can also be arranged in a 50m competition pool 25km away, in Girona.

For cycling you will enjoy beautiful scenery, while riding on quiet, well maintained roads. The weather is fantastically warm and sunny and you have the Pyrenees, the Garrotxa Volcanic National Park and the Mediterranean all within cycling distance (this is the training ground of a 7-time Tour de France winner). Cycling is also a national sport in Spain, so the other road users appreciate cyclists and will not try and run you off the road, so you can relax and enjoy your riding. Mas Pelegri has two 1000 metre climbs only 10kms from the door. One of these is the infamous Rocacorba. Dan Martin holds the recored time of 28 mins 45 secs. One of our guests also holds the record for the oldest person up Rocacorba, 83 years old and he did it in 1 hour 10 mins. A ski station at over 2000 metres is only 80kms, or 50 miles from the door. We also have flatter and more rolling routes through the local countryside. On file we have over 100 training routes mapped from 20km up to 200kms. So please let us know what training you require and we will supply the routes you require for your training. Every stay at Mas Pelegri includes route maps and GPS downloads and emergency help if you have a problem while training.

For running, there are a myriad of gorgeous off-road trails, from the beautiful off-road trail around the Banyoles lake, to a lovely forested 10km trail that goes right over the top of two volcanoes, one of which has an idyllic church situated right inside its crater. Catalonia has done an amazing job at preserving all of its old pack-horse trails, so that people can enjoy these routes for generations to come. There is also a grit track by the Banyoles lake and we can also book 400m tartan tracks in Olot and Girona.

Every training camp is customised to the individual so please contact us with your requirements.

During your stay with Girona Cycling, you will enjoy a high level of coaching, with training sessions specifically tailored to your own specific needs and fitness levels. We believe that you will get the most out of your trip with us, if our group sizes are kept small. So please send us an email containing your details, planned dates, fitness levels, that best fits your up coming season and a phone number and we will get back to you within 24 hours. We are open year round. Every ride will be lead by an expert coach, and because our group sizes are small we can tailor the rides to personally fit your fitness and training level.

When you choose Girona Cycling, you will be provided with a personal training plan for the week prior to and following your stay with us. This is to ensure that you arrive fresh and ready to tackle the camp, and also so that you do not lose all you have gained by pushing too hard on your return. We also provide, as one of our packages, a complete years personal training program. Please see below for details.

At certain times of year, there is the option to compete in local cycling, swimming, triathlon or cyclo-tourist races, see our Special Camps or Events pages. (An international race license may be required and we need to be informed well in advance if you wish to take part). We also arrange day trips to watch the major tours, for example the Tour de Catalonia in March, the Tour de France in July and the Vuelta d'Espana in September.

Clubs, teams and groups are very welcome.
We are flexible enough to provide a completely custom trip to specifically fit your groups needs (click here for an example 10-day triathlon training camp). Please contact us to discuss your requirements and for available discounts.
