Mafra is 30 minutes away from Lisbon airport by car. And at 10 Km from this town you have the Atlantic coast with beautiful beaches. Mafra is mostly known for the sumptuous Royal Building of Mafra, which consists of a Palace integrating a Basilica, with its axial frontispiece uniting the King and the Queen wings, a Convent, the Cerco Garden and a Hunting Park (Tapada). It represents one of the most magnificent works undertaken by King João V, and one of the most important symbols of baroque architecture in Portugal. This unique monument, classified as a National Monument in 1910, was inscribed on UNESCO World Heritage List, in 7 July 2019.
Start, Finish Line and Transition Area of the competition will occur in the square facing the Royal Building of Mafra, a very Iconic and monumental location.
John Raadschelders, president of I.P.A. (International Powerman Association), shares his opinion about this race: «I am very happy that we announce a new Powerman Destination…the Town of Mafra. It’s always exciting exploring new regions who are interested to host an International Powerman event. Meet new people, new venues and tasting the local culture and hospitality». Arriving to Mafra feels good from the first moment. The race is an opportunity for«Meeting great people with passion for sports but also very motivated to deliver a high quality Powerman race for the country, region, Town of Mafra, sponsors, Municipality and last but not least the participants».
The Portuguese Triathlon Federation is a partner in the organization of this event. For its President – Vasco Rodrigues – it is an idea long cherished by the Federation, due to the national tradition of duathletes competitions and also to the international potential of the event.
The town of Mafra was considered the ideal place to host this event, because the region offers diverse landscape (beaches, countryside and mountain) and good accommodations (hotels and restaurants). The interest shown by the Municipality in receiving this event was also decisive to choose this town.
