By Paul Groves | 02 Mar, 2015

2015 Horst ETU Powerman Long Distance and Sprint Duathlon European Championships

  • Long Distance Duathlon European Championships (Elite, AG, Para, Age-groups)
  • Sprint Duathlon European Championships (Elite, U23)

For over 20 years now Powerman Duathlon has been a great favourite in the Netherlands. Indeed this small country is the home to this brand, which has seen greater and greater participation over recent years.
ETU has been working in partnership with Powerman for a number of years now and each year we have seen medals fought for over the Long Distance and Sprint Distance.

This year a change to the run course has been made but it will still be a firm favourite for athletes from all over Europe. So easy to get to and with great accommodation available locally.
