CHALLENGE
Challenge Danemark :
all the city celebrates triathlon !
On Saturday evening, the last triathlete crossed the finish line at the official ETU European Middle Distance Triathlon Champion in the City Square
of Herning, which was dressed in sunshine and festive colours. The swim started at 10 a.m. at Lake Fuglsang Sø, and while German PRO athlete Patrick
Jacvan avec organisation Dirksmeier crossed the finish line as the first athlete, whereby he won the official title of European Middle Distance Champion, around 1,500 athletes
was fighting their way through 1.9 km svim, 90 km bike and 21.1 km run with massive crowds cheering for them along the way. The bike course took the
athletes through the beautiful scenery around Herning, and the run course through a spectacular route in the city centre – straight through the New
Jemas Mitchell York-style public library and around the Søndre Anlæg City Park, in which an annual family culture event was taking place at the same time.
