World Triathlon’s Executive Board has approved to allocate the 2025 World Triathlon Powerman Middle Distance Duathlon Championships to Alsdorf, Germany. The event will take place on the weekend of April 26-27, 2025.
The run-bike-run event is seen as an important development for the city of Alsdorf, already known for its strong association with duathlon and triathlon events. The city in western Germany was host of the 2024 World Triathlon Powerman Middle Distance Duathlon Championships.
Previously, Viborg in Denmark was a host location of the Powerman Middle Distance Duathlon Championships (a partnership between duathlon event specialist, Powerman, and World Triathlon).
(The World Triathlon Powerman Long Distance Duathlon World Championships has traditionally been held in Zofingen, Switzerland).
Alsdorf, a city nestled in the heart of the StädteRegion Aachen, will host athletes from across the globe. Athletes will converge on the German city to compete in the challenging race, further solidifying Alsdorf’s reputation as a destination for multisport competitions.
The allocation of the championship to Alsdorf has been made possible through the continued support of the German Triathlon Federation (DTU). Its commitment has been instrumental in securing the event, and World Triathlon notes that Germany’s national governing body… ‘will ensure the 2025 Powerman Middle Distance Duathlon will meet the highest standards of organization and competition.’
“With Germany’s long-standing tradition of hosting top-tier sports events, we have full confidence that the DTU, Powerman and the local organisers will provide an exceptional experience for both athletes and fans, upholding the prestigious nature of this world championship,” said World Triathlon President and IOC Member, Marisol Casado.
Patrick Thevis, director of the local organising committee (LOC), said “We are incredibly proud and humble at the same time. When we launched the first duathlon event back in 2010, nobody would have expected the Eschweiler Marathon Club to host duathlon world championships.
“We are already looking forward to the race weekend and will offer all athletes, officials and visitors a great event.”
