ETU TRIATHLON EUROPEAN CUPS BIDS - 2015

The time of year has arrived again. ETU is inviting bids from ETU National Federations (NFs), Host Cities or Event Local Organising Committees (LOCs) who are interested in hosting an ETU Triathlon European Cup.

The winter is not far away. ETU is committed to promoting Winter Triathlon. Europe has a long tradition of racing over the run, MTB and ski courses.Over the past few years the most successful and exciting World Championships have taken place on European soil. Our own European Championships have delivered great performances in wonderful locations. Are you interested in staging a European Cup? Are you interested in staging the European Championships? Do you want to be part of this great sport? If you have any questions about putting on a Winter Tri event, please contact the ETU Technical Committee.

Duathlon has become a big attraction for athletes around Europe and around the World. We have a very successful partnership with IPA (International Powerman Association) and with this commercial partner we are offering Sprint and Long Distance championships to athletes.

ETU is keen to see more races on the duathlon calendar that can help athletes prepare for championships.

Are you able to stage and event that can combine Sprint with Standard Distance courses?

Are you able to stage an event that is family-friendly?

Become part of the Duathlon movement.

Europe is a big, big place. Europe has so much to offer. Europe has over the years offered the best racing in the world to athletes visiting from Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada. ETU would like to see the development of events continue within Europe and will actively assist National Federations, Host Cities and LOCs in their preparations.

This year Ukraine delivered two events to the ETU calendar. Sprint and Standard distance events were held that offered not only Elite Races but also Open (Age Group) and paratri races. Reports from athletes were very positive about their journey to a country that has been in the news for other reasons this year. The legacy created by the LOC, working closely with the NF and ETU, is a strong one and ETU recognises the benefit of holding events in Eastern Europe in terms of ease of travel, accommodation costs and visa requirements.

ETU has a commercial partnership not only with IPA but also with TNatura and Challenge. These well-established companies deliver high-quality, exciting events that offer something new to our athletes.
