The Bithon Agua Dulce challenge returns to the iconic shores of Chorrillos, Lima, on Saturday, April 11, 2026. This premier aquathlon event, meticulously organized by Sport United, blends the technical demands of open-water swimming with the endurance of coastal running. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Agua Dulce beach, the competition serves as a high-stakes arena for both seasoned multisport athletes and newcomers. With the Pacific Ocean providing a safe yet competitive environment, participants will navigate a course designed to push physical and mental boundaries, making it one of the most anticipated fixtures in Peru's 2026 athletic calendar.
The 2026 edition features a comprehensive range of categories, ensuring inclusivity across all age groups and skill levels. Younger athletes can jumpstart their multisport journey in the Bithon Kids division, while the "Age Group" and "Postas" (Relay) categories offer a grueling 2K swim followed by a 10K run for those over 20. For specialists, the event also hosts a dedicated 2K open-water swim. Beyond the competition, Bithon Lima is a celebration of the "multideporte" lifestyle, drawing a diverse crowd to the Chorrillos coastline to witness the grit and energy of the local athletic tribe. As registration windows begin to close, the countdown is on for this early morning start at 7:00 AM.
