Ironman announces the European Triclub Championship calendar
This is a formula that allows clubs to compete with each other in Ironman and Ironman 70.3® events in Europe.
After this first year where more than 550 clubs and 3.900 athletes participated in the TriClub Ironman® Program in Europe, IRONMAN has just announced today the racing calendar for the next 2016 IRONMAN European Triclub Championship
"The IRONMAN triathletes are very competitive and the TriClub Program is a fun way to channel their competitiveness into a great initiative for European triathlon clubs," said Thomas Dieckhoff, CEO of IRONMAN Europe, Middle East and Africa.
The clubs will be classified into five different divisions based on the number of members of each club. After finishing the Ironman and Ironman 70.3 events the athletes will accumulate points for their club.
Each club that wins a division title in any of the 11 qualifying races is automatically chosen to compete for the European TriClub IRONMAN Championship in Pula, Croatia at the end of the season. The 2016 Series TriClub IRONMAN European Triclub Championship event program includes:

This initiative has grown to host approximately 2.000 active clubs and includes more than 150.000 athletes. Presented for the first time at 2012, the IRONMAN TriClub Program was designed to help clubs. Throughout the year, participating clubs earn points each time their athletes cross an Ironman or Ironman 70.3® triathlon finish line.
Each club is assigned to a division based on its size. The club in each division that accumulates the highest number of points at the end of the calendar year receives the title of IRONMAN TriClub World Champion.
