Europe Triathlon has announced that will not continue to organize the Europe Triathlon Mixed Relay Club Championships, a series that allowed clubs from the continent to compete in the dynamic mixed relay format.
The decision comes after a review of the calendar, of the resources and participation of recent years.
An attractive format that will not continue
Mixed club relays offered a fresh approach to European triathlon, bringing together athletes from different categories under a single team.
However, logistical difficulties and the challenge of maintaining a stable level of participation have outweighed the excitement generated among athletes and fans.
The difficult decision of Europe Triathlon
The organizers acknowledge that the cancellation hasn't been easy. The format had provided a unique opportunity for clubs from across Europe to test their strength in a competitive yet community-based environment.
However, they assert that maintaining the quality standards the competition deserves has become increasingly difficult.
Looking towards new formats
Europe Triathlon emphasizes its commitment to developing innovative competitions for clubs and athletes.
Although this series disappears, the entity is already working on new opportunities for competition at the continental level, with the idea of strengthening the foundation of European triathlon and keeping the team spirit alive.
Message of thanks to the community
Finally, Europe Triathlon would like to thank the clubs, athletes, and fans for their support over the years of mixed relays.
The European Football Federation (EFA) calls for understanding and assures that the future will bring alternative formats that will keep clubs at the center of the action.
