The Duathlon of Seville hosts the Andalusian Championship

The Duathlon of Seville celebrates its third edition and makes it stronger than ever, as it will host the Duathlon Andalusia Championship in its new name "Short Distance", the former Olympic Games.

From the Andalusian Triathlon Federation has wanted to reward Sevilla for the great work done in previous editions, so that it will host the Andalusian Championship both in Sprint Distance and in its new denomination "Short Distance". It will therefore be an event that will open the appetite to all those athletes that the 4 of May want to meet in one of the most important national events of our sport, the Seville Triathlon.

Likewise, we must thank the wonderful bet that from the office of Lawyers Lopez de Castro have done with this test. At a time when cuts are the order of the day, it is vital to recognize the work of companies such as Lopez de Castro where they are aware that sport is the best way to invest in their business today, since the practice of This healthy habit is currently one of the most demanded activities in our society.

It will be played over two distances: Short (10 km, 40 km and 5 km) admitting only federated triathlons. In this 10 first km and the last 5 will be played on foot race and the central 40 km will be cycling. The other distance in which athletes can participate is the traditional one of previous editions: Distance Sprint, in which federated and non-federated athletes can participate. Likewise, this distance will host the relay modality, in which a team of 2 or 3 will be able to make a team (federated or not) in which each one will carry out a single discipline: or foot race, or cycling, thus accommodating the athletes and cyclists to know the wonderful world of triathlon.

The place chosen to compete for the race will be at the Parque del Alamillo for the start and finish of the race, as well as the race circuit on foot, and in its surroundings for cycling. It will run along the Avenida de Torneo, Isla de la Cartuja, Avenida de los Descubrimientos and the emblematic American Cartuja Park.

If in 2012 the 500 participants were reached, in 2013 the maximum will be established in 800, since there will be two outputs, one for the short distance and another for the sprint distance.

Apart, parallel events (raffles, animation ...) and a small Expo of the Sportsman will be added in the same starting and finishing area, where the main sports commercial houses of Seville will be located. So a great sports morning will be prepared in this unique idyllic setting for Sevillians.

It will host the Andalusian Duathlon Championship, but it will also be a very affordable event for those not initiated in the sprint distance. In addition, it is focused on promoting the city and the province, since the hotels and bars closest to the area will be impacted thanks to our sport in a low season. In this way the city of Seville is given great prestige, placing it on the fixed calendar of those national and international triathletes who in a month of March will be able to enjoy an average temperature above the 18ºC, ideal to train their favorite sport .

Organized the Andalusian Triathlon Federation in collaboration with OF Sport. On Monday 28 from January to the 10h will be the opening of online registrations through the website of OF SPORT, being Thursday 7 of March its deadline or until reaching the maximum quota of 800 people.
