The European Triathlon Union (ETU) and International Powerman Association (IPA) are reportedly delighted with the early registration for the 2014 European Long Distance and Sprint Distance Duathlon Championships.
This unique joint event, now in its third year, is held across the weekend of 12-13 April 2014 in Horst aan de Maas in the south-eastern Netherlands. The ETU-Powerman event combines the European Long Distance and Sprint Distance Duathlon Championships in ‘a thrilling festival of duathlon’.
The number of registrations for this year has already surpassed last year’s total, which has thrilled Powerman CEO John Raadschelders. He said: “We are very happy with the registrations so far with over 500. Many athletes have used our early bird offer and there is still time to take advantage of this up until 28 February. After that, the race fee will increase by €20.
“I encourage all athletes and National Federations to come to Horst and experience our fantastic event.”
Raadschelders confirmed that some changes have been made to the course at Horst, particularly on the 20K bike loop which has been added to the Sprint course.
- The European Long Distance Duathlon Championships is a 15K run (6 laps) / 60K bike (3 laps) /7.5K run (3 laps) course through the streets of Horst and is open to Elite athletes and Age Groups.
- The European Sprint Distance Duathlon Championships is a 5K run (2 laps)/ 20K bike (1 lap)/ 2.5K run (1 lap) course and is open to Elite athletes, U23, Paraduathlon and Age Groups.
