The event, held on May 10, 2026, offered an exceptional atmosphere and ideal weather conditions on the beaches of Benicàssim, allowing participants to fully enjoy the Oceanman 10K, Half Oceanman 5K, and Sprint 2K distances. This competition marks the beginning of the European calendar for the event.
Although the sea presented slightly more movement than usual during the final hours of the competition, especially in the Sprint 2K distance, the security and assistance operation functioned flawlessly. The coordinated effort between the security team, volunteers, support boats, and medical personnel ensured that all swimmers could complete the experience with maximum guarantees.
After the races, participants enjoyed a spectacular final refreshment, which included a traditional Valencian paella tasting. This experience particularly surprised and delighted international swimmers, who highlighted the quality of local gastronomy and the warmth of the organization.
“"The sea offered a real 'rock and roll' for the participants, but the health and rescue device worked excellently."
Award ceremonies for the different categories were also held throughout the day, in an atmosphere of celebration and camaraderie among athletes from all over the world. The significant and moving participation of the Inspiration category across all distances is noteworthy, reflecting Oceanman's strong commitment to integration, inclusion, and sport for all.
