The 7 kilometre course will start from La Carihuela beach at the boundary between Torremolinos and Benalmádena, while the 3.5 kilometre course will start from the promenade of El Bajondillo, with the finish line of both races located in Los Álamos.

The registration fee includes swimmer’s bag, personalised T-shirt, silicone cap, identification bracelet, nautical emergency whistle, personalised medal, accident and civil liability insurance, liquid refreshments during the race and post-finish refreshments.
