The Middle Distance race will consist of a 2.5km Swim, 82km Bike and a 20km Run in and around Basque Country.

Besides the Ironman Champions, TriGrandPrix Basque Country will also have a strong field of other contenders like Mikel Elguezabal, Bjorn Andersson and Herve Faure.
Athletes like Clemente Alonso, Francesc Godoy, Francisco Pontano, Hektor Llanos, Jon Unanue, Miquel Blanchart, Owen Cummins, Peru Alfaro, Richard Calle, Tom Sturdy, Xabi Boneta and Raul Amaitrian will try to conquer Eneko Llanos' domain.
On the female side the race gets even better. 2010 defending champion Catriona Morrison will be on-hand and is the pre-race favorite. 2011 has been great for her so far winning Ironman 70.3 St Croix, Ironman Texas and then maybe the TriGrandPrix Basque Country 2011 event?
