Cross Triathlon European Championships

ETU Announce Cross Triathlon European Championships

Last
year, both ETU and TNatura, collaborated to promote the sport of Cross
Triathlon with two races in Orosei, Italy and Lake Titisee, Germany.

The long
term goal of these races was to put together a dedicated Cross Triathlon event
programme to help develop the sport and create more interest in this format of
triathlon. Triathlon Ireland have also been working to promote and develop Cross Triathlon and have selected the Xterra Ireland race on the 20th of July as the National Championships.

Following
the success of both races in 2013, ETU and TNatura will continue their
partnership and jointly host the 2014 Cross Triathlon Series.

Sandro
Salerno, CEO of Island Group, the company behind the brand of TNatura, said:
“TNatura and ETU are determined to increase the level of Elite and Age Group
athletes participating in high level mountain bike and cross triathlon events.

“Our
attention is focused on the quality of organisation, as well as hosting races
in some of the most stunning and aesthetically pleasing environments in Europe.
This is to satisfy both the demand of the athlete and the supporting families.

“ETU
TNatura is a young project but it is already successful. We had a lot of demand
to add to the Series but we have decided to select four races for 2014 so that
we can guarantee good organisation and start in the best way."
