The Season Kicks Off in Quarteira

The first races of the year will take place in Quarteira, Portugal, with the 2025 Europe Triathlon Cup on March 29 and the 2025 Europe Triathlon Junior Cup on March 30.

As we head into 2025, we also reflect on the top-ranked junior athletes from the 2024 season, whose performances stood out last year. Fanni Szalai (HUN), Liis Kapten (EST), and Cristina Jiménez-Orta Guerrero (ESP) led the way in the junior women’s rankings, while Carol Popa (ROU), Izan Edo Aguilar (ESP), and Alexander Bozhilov (BUL) finished at the top for the junior men. As they continue their progression in the sport, we are excited to see how their careers develop this season.

You can follow the action from Quarteira, as selected races will be streamed live on our YouTube channel, offering a front-row seat to the first big battles of the year. 

With new leadership, award celebrations, and a highly anticipated season opener, the 2025 Europe Triathlon season is officially set to begin!
