At Ciclos Major, our triathlon camps are something truly special—designed with care, experience, and a real passion for helping you grow, no matter your starting point.
Our camps stand out for three main reasons:
- Our deep, local knowledge of Mallorca’s cycling routes
- A location that couldn’t be more ideal
- And expert coaching from triathletes who know what it takes—and love sharing it
Let’s take a closer look at what makes training with us in Mallorca so memorable.
LOCATION – RIGHT AT THE HEART OF IT ALL
There’s no better place to train than Alcudia Bay, the very site of the Ironman Mallorca. You’ll swim, cycle, and run on the same courses used in competition—getting to know the terrain, the conditions, and the rhythm of the island.
Whether you’re preparing for your first triathlon or aiming for a personal best, there’s something powerful about training in the real-world setting of an Ironman course. And when you’re not training? Alcudia offers the perfect blend of beauty and tranquility to recharge and reflect.
MEET OUR COACHES – EXPERIENCE, PASSION & MOTIVATION
Our triathlon coaches aren’t just experts—they’re triathletes with global experience and a genuine love for helping others succeed. You’ll benefit from structured training, real-world advice, and the kind of motivation that comes from someone who’s been there.
Melissa Dowell, our lead coach, brings an exceptional background. A seasoned triathlete since 2007, she’s completed more than a dozen Ironman races, including Ironman Mallorca. She’s qualified for the Ironman World Championships in Kona five times and represented Great Britain in World ITU and European ETU age group championships across the globe.
Melissa’s accolades include:
- Gold at the Long Course World Championships (Oklahoma, 2016)
- Silver medals in Pontevedra (2019) and Ibiza (2023)
- Multiple gold, silver, and bronze medals in European Championships
- Victory at the Wasdale X and finishes at Swissman and Norseman extreme triathlons
Her most recent triumph in Pontevedra (2025) earned her another age group win and another ticket to the Ironman World Championship in Nice.
But what makes Melissa truly special is her down-to-earth approach. She’s guided cyclists in Mallorca for years, completed the demanding Mallorca 312, and worked with youth triathlon squads. Her background in swimming instruction and open-water coaching makes her a real asset for those wanting to improve in that discipline.
Jarek Oworuszko began his sporting journey at university with a passion for rock and alpine climbing. From there, he laced up his running shoes, completing more than 20 marathons along with multiple ultra and trail races. Always seeking new challenges, he transitioned into triathlon, racing everything from sprints to full Ironman distances across Europe. Along the way, he proudly represented Team Poland at the European Championships (Olympic distance) and at the World Championships (70.3 distance), and earned a bronze medal at the Polish Sprint Triathlon Championships. His race portfolio spans the spectrum — from fast 5Ks to grueling mountain ultras.
As a swimming coach, Jarek has worked with athletes of all levels, from complete beginners to seasoned triathletes. One of his proudest coaching moments came when an athlete, long stuck in a plateau, improved his Ironman time by 30 minutes in just six months — a breakthrough that led to qualification for the Ironman World Championships.
Beyond triathlon, Jarek has guided cycling groups across Mallorca and raced in some of Europe’s most iconic destinations: Spain (Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Andalusia), Italy (Tuscany, Puglia, Calabria, Trentino, Campania), as well as Slovakia, Czechia, and Poland.
Athletes appreciate his ability to tailor training and pacing to every level while keeping the atmosphere motivating, safe, and fun — yet always with a healthy dose of challenge.
SWIMMING – TRAIN IN TOP FACILITIES & OPEN WATERS
Both of our recommended hotels—Zafiro Palace 5* and Zafiro Tropic 4*—feature heated, 25-metre outdoor pools, perfect for focused training sessions. And when you’re ready, you can go out into the open water.
Whether you’re building confidence or refining technique, you’ll have everything you need to enjoy and improve your swimming in a supportive environment.
CYCLING – RIDE THE BEST ROADS IN EUROPE
Mallorca is a cyclist’s dream. The island packs every type of terrain into one beautifully scenic package—rolling countryside, steady plains, gentle climbs, and thrilling mountain passes.
It’s no wonder so many athletes train here year after year. Our faster groups often rack up 650 to 800 kilometres a week, but there’s no pressure—our coaches tailor the rides to your pace and goals. You’ll ride the official Ironman cycling route, starting from Alcudia Bay and heading into the dramatic Tramuntana hills before looping back to the coast.
All rides are supported, safe, and, above all, spectacular.
Whether you’re building confidence or refining technique, you’ll have everything you need to enjoy and improve your swimming in a supportive environment.
RUNNING – BEAUTIFUL ROUTES RIGHT OUT THE DOOR
Thanks to our base in Port d’Alcudia, the triathlon running route is right at your feet. From beachside stretches to more dynamic terrain, we’ll introduce you to the exact path of the Ironman run. Whether you’re looking to build endurance or refine pacing, you’ll find Mallorca’s climate and scenery perfect for both.
Our coaches are happy to guide you every step—literally!
