Almost a thousand athletes from countries across the world are gathering in Funchal for the UIPM 2026 Biathle-Triathle-Laser Run World Championships, running from 26 October to 1 November.
The competition centres on the Centro Náutico São Lázaro, where the coastal Biathle and Triathle events meet the urban Laser Run. The programme includes 12 age groups, Mixed Relays and Para categories.
Notable entrants include Paris 2024 Olympic bronze medallist Giorgio Malan of Italy and Olympian Todor Mihalev of Bulgaria. The island returns to host the event four years after the 2022 Biathle-Triathle World Championships in Machico.
