World Championship races: registration via your National Triathlon Federation
Registration for one or more World Championships races can only be done via your national triathlon federation. In some cases there are additional qualification requirements. In case of the NTB (Dutch Triathlon Federation), the qualification requirements are described here: https://www.triathlonbond.nl/meedoen/agegroupers/
The ITU Multisport World Championships will contain 6 World Championships races:
Date | Event |
|---|---|
5 september | Sprint Duathlon (5k – 20k – 2.5k) |
6 september | Standard Duathlon (10k – 40k – 5k) |
8 september | Cross Triathlon (1K – 29.5 K – 7.5K) and Junior (500m – 9.5K – 2.5K) |
10 september | Aquathlon (1K – 5K) |
12 september | Aquabike (3.8K – 180K) |
12 september | Long Distance Triathlon (3.8K – 180K – 42.2K) |
Open Races Challenge Almere-Amsterdam 2020
In addition to the World Championships races, we organise a number of open races as well. As these races aren’t World Championships, no qualification requirements are needed for these open races and the registration does take place directly via our organisation. Your National Triathlon Federation has nothing to do with these open series races. Down below you’ll find all the open series races, for which registration has opened right away via https://app.lap.io/event/2020-multisport-almere-amsterdam-open:
September 5th Open Sprint Duathlon (5k – 20k – 2.5k)
September 10th Junior Challenge (0.38k – 18k – 4.2k)
September 10th Business / Family-Relay (3 times: 0.38k – 6k – 2k)
September 11th Senior- / No-Limit Challenge
September 12th Long Distance Triathlon (3.8k – 180k – 42,195k)
September 12th Long Distance Triathlon TriTogether (3.8k – 180k – 42,195k with 3 team members)
Please note the conditions below:
-The Open Series Long Distance race has a limited number of entries (max. 200 individual + TriTogether, so beware this will sell out quickly!).
-Because registration for the World Championships races are taken care of via your National Triathlon Federation and Open Races by us, you can’t switch your chosen race after registration. Make sure to pick the right one in advance!
No Middle Distance 2020
Due to additional requirements for the World Championships Long Distance and Aquabike, we didn’t find any possibility to organize a Middle Distance in 2020 as well. In 2021, when our ‘regular’ CHALLENGEALMERE-AMSTERDAM returns, our Middle Distance is back on our scheduled calendar. If you want to race any other Middle Distance in 2020, there are plenty of options. We highly recommend you the following races down below!
Recommended Middle Distances 2020!
Instead of our CHALLENGEALMERE-AMSTERDAM Middle Distance, you can choose for a lot of other very challenging races! For example the iconic CHALLENGEGERAARDSBERGEN (see picture below) in Belgium. During this race you will cross the world famous ‘Muur van Geraardsbergen’ twice! But also CHALLENGEHERNING in Denmark (very close to Legoland!) and CHALLENGEHEILBRONN, in Germany, are highly recommended!
June 7th Challenge Geraardsbergen
June 13th Challenge Herning
June 21st Challenge Heilbronn
Recommended Middle Distance in The Netherlands!
Of course we also like to see you at the start of TRI AMSTERDAM (make sure to check the amazing video below!). This race will take place on June 21st and our organization team is closely involved. This high quality race will of course take place in our amazing capital Amsterdam. You will swim in ‘de Amstel’ (most famous river of the city), bike through spectacular, typical Dutch landscapes, run through the city and have a nice finish next to the Amstel again. Registration is open already!
June 21st TRI AMSTERDAM
If you register before January 1st and use the code ‘CAA2020-MIDDLE’ at your registration, you will receive a free ‘Triathletes Never Quit’ hoodie!
