Tuesday, June 18, 2024 The Zurich City Triathlon, a premier sporting event, has sold out for the second consecutive year, setting the stage for the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris. The triathlon, scheduled for June 23, 2024, has garnered significant attention and participation, cementing its status as a key event in the athletic calendar. This year’s event will host 4,500 athletes, including top professionals such as Switzerland’s Max Studer and Andrea Salvisberg, and three elite triathletes from the China Triathlon Sports Association, who will use this race as a crucial rehearsal for the Olympics.
The Zurich City Triathlon, now in its third year, has quickly become a highlight in the world of triathlons. Initially introduced in 2022, it succeeded the IRONMAN Switzerland/5150 Zurich event, offering races across various distances and categories. The triathlon caters to a diverse group of participants, from children and youth to hobbyists, professionals, teams, companies, and paratriathletes.
With its wide range of categories, it ensures an inclusive and spectacular experience for all involved. Notably, the event will feature a Kidstriathlon on June 22, 2024, allowing 200 children up to the age of nine to get a taste of triathlon excitement. This year’s triathlon will again underscore its commitment to environmental sustainability.
Since its inception, the Zurich City Triathlon has calculated its CO2 footprint and compensated through CO2 certificates from verified climate.
