World Triathlon is pleased to
announce two more events that will join the 2023 World Triathlon Championship
Series circuit: Cagliari, Italy, that will take place on 27-28 May, and
Montreal, Canada, 24-25 June. The World Cup planned in Busselton (Australia)
and the Bergen World Cup (Norway) unfortunately will not take place this year.
Cagliari will make its return to the
WTCS circuit after their brilliant debut last autumn, with a Standard distance
race. The races will take place in the same venue as last year, with a beach
start followed by a flat and technical bike course and a fast and flat run
course.
After hosting last year the World
Triathlon Sprint & Relay Championships, Montreal makes its return to the
regular Series circuit, with a Sprint distance race and a Mixed Relay planned
for the last weekend of June.
Unfortunately, the World Cup planned
in Busselton (Australia) in March is coming off the calendar as a World Cup and
will move to a Continental Cup. The organisers of the Bergen World Cup
(Norway), planned for August 2023, have also decided to remove the event from
the 2023 calendar, but will work on trying to deliver the event in 2024.
The Board has also approved to add to
the calendar Zofingen (Switzerland), that will host for the 15th time in 34
years the long distance Duathlon World Championships. The race, that made its
debut in the calendar in 1989, will offer once again a course considered the
most demanding ever, with all the duathlon long distance stars ready to perform
at their best in the Swiss mountains.
The 2023 World Triathlon Championship
Series season will return to its traditional kick off venue in Abu Dhabi on
March 3-4, with stops already approved in Yokohama (Japan) on 13 May; Hamburg
(Germany) on 13-16 July; Sunderland (UK) on 29-30 July; and will finish with
the Championship Finals in Pontevedra, Spain, on September 22-24.
Major additions on next year’s
calendar will be Hamburg, as the city hosts the Sprint & Relay World Championships;
Paris hosting the Paris 2024 Test Event from 17-20 August, and the Spanish
island of Ibiza the Multisport Championships.
On the World Triathlon Cup calendar,
the season will start with a classic destination making its long-awaited return
to the circuit, New Plymouth, in New Zealand, in March and another stop of the
circuit in Yeongdo (South Korea) on the first weekend of May. The circuit in
2023 includes classic destinations such as Huatulco (Mexico), Tiszaujvaros
(Hungary), Valencia (Spain), Chengdu (China), Arzachena (Italy), Karlovy Vary
(CZE), Tongyeong (South Korea) and Miyazaki (Japan) with some new additions to
the roaster of cities hosting events, like Vina del Mar (Chile) and Montevideo
(Uruguay).
Please note that more events might be
added to the 2023 calendar in the coming weeks.
