Swiss women power
When Petra Eggenschwiler and Melanie Maurer both start at the Powerman Zofingen, the only question that usually remains is which of the two Swiss women will win. «Whether I will be at the start in Zofingen on 4 September 2022, I will only decide in the second half of August», says Melanie Maurer, who has also registered for the Jungfrau Marathon on 10 September. The 34-year-old from Wikon has lived in Hindelbank for two years, but works in Zofingen. «This together with three physios as a coach for athletes in duathlon, triathlon, running and cycling, where I mostly work from home.»
Her clients would really appreciate her training plans, the personal exchange and the constant accessibility. This business is booming. The two-time runner-up in the duathlon long distance world championship has had less success so far in finding sponsors. «It’s extremely difficult to find a new sponsor at the moment.» It is quite possible that this search would have been easier with a world championship title. Maurer doesn’t think back to her abandonment at last year’s Powerman Zofingen due to hypothermia, when she had a lead of over 10 minutes on the bike course. «I wouldn’t put on more clothes if it was that cold again, I wouldn’t start at all.»
At the moment, she focuses mainly on running in her training and spends around 10 to 12 hours a week on it. Maurer: «If I then decided to start at the Powerman Zofingen, I would of course add cycling to my training, which would double the effort.»
It is quite possible that after a smaller Zofingen break, Petra Eggenschwiler will also start at the Powerman Zofingen on 4 September 2022. «The chances of that are not bad», says the 34-year-old from Solothurn.

Sunshine on 3-4 September 2022
It is often said that when it rains and is cold, this is Powerman weather. This year this should not be true, because sunshine is announced for the Powerman Zofingen weekend.

For Saturday, 3.9.2022, 22 degrees are forecast, for Sunday, 4 September 2022, even 23 degrees. The spectators can also look forward to this and create a fantastic atmosphere in the arena.

Defending champion at the start
The reigning world champion Merle Brunnée (Germany) is also sure to be part of the team at the 33rd Powerman Zofingen, the Long Distance Duathlon World Championships, on 4 September 2022. «The World Championship title in Zofingen, by the way my first duathlon of my career, means a lot to me, not only because it was a great honour and an unforgettable event, but also because I associate so many memories with it.»
The 28-year-old from Heidelberg, can’t wait until she can compete again at the Powerman Zofingen. «Zofingen is a unique event that is organised very successfully with a lot of know-how and effort», says Brunnée. «The fact that there were multiple laps for both the run and the bike made it possible to keep passing places where spectators were motivating and cheering you on. That was great!» At home, she said, the whole family was cheering along. «For my friends and family, it was especially nice that there was a livestream of the event.» As a doctor at the university hospital, she works full time and rotates shifts, so she has to stay flexible and plan the training around her workday, she said. «So I end up trying to fit in at least 15 hours of training a week.»
