The sporting event took place at Llac Esperança (Estany des Ponts) in Alcúdia, attracting more than 400 participants of different ages, with the support of the canoeing and cycling federations.
With this third event, the Water Bike Circuit has brought together more than 1,000 participants throughout 2026, with activities held at Parc de la Mar in Palma, Port d’Andratx and Llac Esperança in Alcúdia. The circuit was created to introduce the public to a new sporting discipline and offer a healthy, accessible way to enjoy the sea. The initiative also helps promote coastal municipalities as venues for sporting activities.
Water biking combines elements of cycling, through its pedal-powered mechanism, and stand-up paddleboarding, thanks to its floating platform, which requires participants to maintain their balance. This year, the activity has also been incorporated into regular sports programmes for older adults and young people.
The Water Bike Circuit consists of a series of races open to participants of all ages, provided they are at least 12 years old or 1.50 metres tall. The competition is divided into five categories: masters, adults, cadets, children and introductory. Participants must complete a designated course in the shortest possible time.
On this occasion, the programme was complemented by guided activities including dragon boating, kayaking, mountain biking (MTB), fit dance, family hiking, healthy back exercise sessions and “Mou-te amb salut!” (“Get Moving for Your Health!”), aimed at older adults.
The event was attended by the Second Vice-President and Councillor for the Environment, Rural Affairs and Sports, Pedro Bestard, and the Island Director of Sports, Toni Prats, accompanied by the local councillors for Sports and Tourism, Verónica Caro and Juan Sendín, respectively.
Councillor Pedro Bestard highlighted the success of the initiative, stating: “We have been able to enjoy three fantastic days of family sporting activities in exceptional locations: Parc de la Mar, Port d’Andratx and Llac Esperança. An added highlight has been the participation of canoeists Juan Toni Moreno and Maria Àngels Moreno, who collaborate with the Consell de Mallorca’s sports programmes.”
