With Members of World Triathlon
getting ready for the upcoming Congress, we would like to announce further
dates and events that have been added to the schedule for the ever-growing
calendar of the 2021 season.
World Triathlon Cups
The postponed Miyazaki 2020 World
Cup, due to take place last October, has now been added to the 2021 calendar,
with the Japanese city hosting a World Triathlon Cup twice in the same year:
first on March 20-21, and then on October 23-24. Addition to that, Weihai
(China) has been confirmed for the weekend of September 25-26.
This leaves the 2021 World Triathlon
Cup calendar with the following events:
Miyazaki (Japan), March 20-21
Huatulco (MEX), April 17-18
Osaka (Japan), May 8-9
Arzachena (Italy), May 29-30
Haeundae (South Korea), June 3-4
Karlovy Vary (Czech Republic),
September 11-12
Weihai (China), September 25-26
Miyazaki (Japan), October 23-24
Tongyeong (South Korea), October
30-31
Other events will likely be added to
the 2021 calendar in the upcoming weeks, with dates still pending, including a
mix of new cities and returning to the circuit ones. Unfortunately, some events
that have been part of the World Cup calendar for many years, like Mooloolaba
(Australia), New Plymouth (New Zealand) or Madrid (Spain), won’t be able to
take place in 2021, with the pandemic effect still making an impact in some
organisers.
Para triathlon
Like for the World Triathlon Cups, we
have been able to secure some new events for the 2021 season, thanks to the
commitment from our member National Federations and Local Organizing
Committees. Miyazaki is ready to offer opportunities for Para triathletes both
in March and October. In addition Alanya and Alhandra have been also confirmed
for the latter period of the calendar.
The following events have been
confirmed for the 2021 season:
Miyazaki (Japan), March 20-21, World

added to the calendar in 2021

Asiago will return to the Winter Triathlon circuit on the 19th February 2021,
