RACE
RECAP
We are thrilled to share the highlights from the 2024 Europe Triathlon Powerman Middle Distance Duathlon Championships.
This year’s event saw over 750 athletes compete in a grueling course featuring 10 kilometers of running, 60 kilometers of cycling, and another 10 kilometers of running.
In the men’s race, Denmark's Simon Jorn Hansen successfully defended his title, finishing first with a time of 2:25:48. He was followed closely by Slovakia’s Ondrej Kubo, who took second place, and France’s Emile Blondel-Hermant, who rounded out the podium in third.
The women’s competition was dominated by Switzerland’s Melanie Maurer, who claimed victory with a time of 2:45:54. Germany’s Merle Brunnée finished second, repeating her position from last year, and Switzerland’s Olivia Keiser secured third place.
The event's course, set through the scenic routes of Alsdorf, provided an excellent viewing experience for spectators, with convenient spots for watching both the running and cycling segments. The atmosphere was vibrant and supportive, particularly around the central monument square, where the start, finish, and transition areas were located.
Additionally, the British Age-Group team delivered an impressive performance, earning twelve medals across various categories.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the athletes who participated and our gratitude to the supporters who made the event memorable. For more details and full results, please visit World Triathlon and Triathlon Today.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at our next event!
WHY
RACE IN VICHY
IMPECCABLE LOCATION
Well known for its tourist, spa and gastronomic facilities, its central location and its reputation in the world of triathlon, Vichy is an attractive destination. For some years now, its sports facilities, its natural setting ideal for triathlon, and its development of thermal wellbeing have made Vichy a highly sought-after town for triathletes and sports enthusiasts in general. Vichy's mild climate and magnificent lake are also great assets for hosting such a competition. The dates chosen, 21 and 22 September 2024, are usually synonymous with fine weather and pleasant temperatures.
HISTORICAL ORGANISATION
2025 WORLD CHAMPION- SHIPS
Vichy wrote a page in the history of short-distance triathlon with the first stages of the France Iron Tour in '94, '95 and '96: the first looped courses in the heart of the town and the presence of the world's best triathletes showed that triathlon could be a real sporting spectacle, as it would become a few years later at the Sydney Olympic Games.
EUROPEAN TITLE
Race for your country and get the chance to win an official European Title. Vichy with its incredible location and historic organisation will for sure be a memorable stop in the 2024 Nation Stars Tour, riding on the momentum of the Paris Olympics.
