“ BREAKING RECORDS “
WORLD’S LARGEST DUATHLON
We’d also like to congratulate the over 4,200 PowerMen, PowerWomen,
PowerTeens and PowerKids from over 35 countries who have signed up
for this year’s event; together we can now lay claim to the prestigious
title of the World’s Largest Duathlon, eclipsing previous title holder, the
London Duathlon. This is quite an achievement and one that all Malaysia
can feel proud of.
This year’s event will continue as the Asian Championship race and
is an Asian Triathlon Confederation (ASTC) sanctioned Middle Distance
Championship in the 10-60-10km category. Athletes will be competing
for cash prizes and coveted qualifying spots for the ITU Powerman World
Championship, to be held in Viborg, Denmark on 16 May 2020 covering
the Middle (Classic) Distance (10-60-10) and in Zofingen, Switzerland
on 20 September 2020 covering the Long Distance (10-150-30).
For some of you, it’s about getting on the podium, for others, it’s about
setting a new personal record or simply the joy of participating and
trying something new. Whatever your goal is this year, we applaud you
and encourage you to always give your best and to never give up.
See you at the start line!
