Chester Triathlon Club Spring Camp once again returns to Mallorca and will also be based at the same hotel as 2018; HSM Lago Park Hotel in the town of Playas de Muro.

The camp is a perfect way to kick start your season with 7 full days training in the sun combined with a social side. The hotel has been recently refurbished so all rooms are modern studio rooms. The hotel food is also very accommodating for vegan and vegetarians and comes with excellent reviews from last year.
