Duathlon World Championships 2021 in Switzerland

Friday, 18 December 2020 by Fabio
Next year, Switzerland will again host the Duathlon WC: The Powerman Zofingen WORLD TRIATHLON Long Distance Duathlon World Championships. The preparations are in full swing. The Powerman Zofingen can count on the goodwill of its sponsors.
Like most international sporting events, the Powerman Zofingen had to be postponed due to the Corona pandemic. It was originally scheduled to be held on September 20, 2020.

Now the organizers are focusing on May 30, 2021, as the date for the Long Distance World Championships. World Triathlon (WT) – until recently known as the International Triathlon Union ITU – had already confirmed in the middle of this year that in 2021 Zofingen (Switzerland) is scheduled for the official WT Powerman Long Distance Duathlon World Championships (10 km run, 150 km bike, 30 km run). If May 30, 2021 is not feasible due to Covid-19 then September 19, 2021 is set as an alternate date.

Bike course optimized
The organizers clearly expect the race to be held next year. The bike course has been further optimized. The historical center of Zofingen will be bypassed. “We have never had such a safe bike course in the history of the Powerman Zofingen,” says Stefan Ruf, president of the organizing committee Powerman Zofingen. The level of difficulty is comparable to previous courses, he adds. Stefan Ruf: “Zofingen remains the toughest duathlon in the world.” The following municipalities will be passed through from the start in Zofingen: Mühlethal (city of Zofingen), Uerkheim, Holziken, Schöftland, Wittwil (municipality of Staffelbach), Staffelbach, Mooslerau, Attelwil (Reitnau), Reitnau, Wiliberg, Reiden, Wikon, Brittnau, Strengelbach, Vordemwald and Rothrist.
Registrations possible until May 2021
Athletes from Switzerland and Europe in general will be even more widely represented in 2021. However, not only those athletes who originally registered for Powerman Zofingen 2020 will be at the start. Registrations are possible until May 30, 2021. By the way: All athletes who do not want to participate in 2021 will have their entry fee refunded upon request.
High solidarity
Powerman Zofingen should be able to count on the support of donors – companies, the federal government, the canton Argovia and the city of Zofingen. “We appreciate this solidarity enormously,” says Walter Bloch, Powerman Zofingen’s sponsorship manager. The civil defense organization will provide 140 days of service. The Powerman is supported by the main sponsors Vanoli www.vanoli.ch, Swisslos www.swisslos.ch, ZT Medien www.ztmedien.ch and gaz- energie www.gazenergie.ch together with StWZ Energie www.stwz.ch.
Voluntary – a Swiss trademark
The situation regarding sporting events is unpredictable, Markus Bindschädler says in a statement. “Nevertheless, we are now looking optimistically into the future and planning in scenarios for 2021. Always for the sport, always for the passion and always for an important contribution to society and health. Voluntary, of course – a Swiss trademark that is unique in the world.”
“Because we are committed to the region”
Why do companies support the Powerman Zofingen? Paul Marbach, Managing Director StWZ Energie AG, in his statement: “StWZ and “Gazenergie” support the Powerman Zofingen because we are committed to the region around Zofingen and because the energy-packed Powerman fits very well with StWZ and with natural gas/biogas.”
