ITU LD TRIATHLON
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Greetings and welcome to the
2013 Belfort ITU Long Distance
Triathlon World Championships,
Long distance triathlon is an
incredibly important part of ITU, as
it is a gruelling test of mental and
physical endurance in triathlon’s
three core sports. Contested over a
4km swim, 120km bike and a 30km
run, one thing is for sure – long
distance triathlon is not for the
faint of heart.
France holds a special place in the
history of the race, as this year
marks the 18th season we have
crowned the ITU Long Distance
Triathlon World Champions, with
the first championships having
been held right here in France
in 1995. The race
travelled
to
the
country an additional
four times, with the
last time being in
2007 in Lorient.
The event has a
strong history, with
athletes like Simon
Lessing, Greg Welch and Chrissie
Wellington taking the titles in the
past. Last year, Caroline Steffen
returned to the top spot on the
podium with a stellar bike leg for
the win. In the men’s race, the
great Chris McCormack put up an
impressive run split for the gold
despite a 15-second penalty. This
year will be no easy feat with a
tough climb planned for the bike
course.
The International Triathlon Union
is proudly committed to not just
triathlon, but each and every
multisport in the ITU community.
After all, at its heart triathlon is
a multidiscipline sport and we
believe that each and every form –
as long as it has three legs – plays
an important part in spreading our
sport around the world.
The ITU would like to thank the
local organising committee and
the French Triathlon Federation for
their fantastic effort putting this
event together.
I encourage all athletes, volunteers, organisers, media and
supporters to enjoy the beautiful
city of Belfort and the spectacle of
ITU long distance triathlon. I hope
everyone enjoys racing it this year.
Sincerely,
Marisol Casado
President, International Triathlon
Union
IOC Member

We have never doubted the potential
of our region. The magnificent site
of Malsaucy, the Ballon d’Alsace, the
beauty of the Valley of Doller and the
warm welcome of a whole territory
are the real assets as a matter of
organizing a triathlon ! On June 1st
and 2nd, the show will be on the site
of Malsaucy but also on all the races
and the villages that the athletes will
cross.
