The 2021 Middle Distance Triathlon, Aquathlon and Aquabike European Championships will be organized at Challenge Kaiserwinkl-Walchsee in Austria.
The event had been down to organize the 2020 ETU European Championships this year, but due to coronavirus, this could not take place. Next year there will be three different European Championships. The 2021 Aquathlon European Championships will take place on June 24th; and the 2021 Middle Distance European Championships and 2021 Aquabike European Championships will take place on June 27th.
“After a year in which we had to cancel a lot of races, including Challenge Kaiserwinkl-Walchsee, it is even more special that we can announce this spectacular news right now,” said Challenge Family CEO Jort Vlam.
“This European Championships will reunite thousands of athletes in the beautiful surroundings of Kaiserwinkl-Tyrol. It will reunite our ‘family’.”
He continued, “Challenge Kaiserwinkl-Walchsee has always been characterized by the fact that it is a multi-day event and will be more so in 2021. There will be several days full of spectacular races, but also beautiful surroundings, friendly, hospitable people and good accessibility – to make Challenge Kaiserwinkl-Walchsee a race for the whole family.
“For spectators, it will be all the more fun now that there will be a battle for the European titles.
“The swim is situated in a lake with crystal clear waters; athletes will ride their bikes through a landscape between mountains; and the run is dominated by spectacular views. We can’t wait to welcome all the athletes here and offer them an unforgettable experience.”
Gerd Erharter, Chairman of the Kaiserwinkl Tourism Association, added “The region is very happy that after the cancellation of the European Championships in 2020, it has now worked again with the award for 2021.”
He added a wish that “the European Championship in 2021 can take place again under normal circumstances and that the Kaiserwinkl region can warmly welcome all athletes.”
