Junior Long Course Weekend
🏅 The Ultimate Challenge for young (tri)athletes
Welcome to the JUNIOR Long Course Weekend in Belgium, tailored for (tri)athletes aged 14 to 17. This special event offers young athletes the chance to showcase their skills in three disciplines (swimming, cycling, and running) spread over three consecutive days. The participants will engage in a 1.9 km open water swim, a 45 km cycling route, and a 10 km run, each set against the enchanting backdrop of Nieuwpoort.

🏃 The Nieuwpoort Run
Sunday 22/09/2024
Conclude the JUNIOR Long Course Weekend with the Nieuwpoort 10K. The final challenge of the weekend. As you run through the streets of Nieuwpoort, feel the energy of the crowd cheering you on to the finish line. Push through and experience the triumphant feeling as you overcome this last obstacle.
Embrace the Uniqueness of a 3-Day Endurance Adventure
Unlike a typical one-day triathlon, the 3-day endurance spectacle of LCW Belgium provides a unique opportunity for athletes. Spread over three days, it allows them to push their limits without the constraints of a single event. This extended format, however, also brings a complication: muscles can stiffen, fatigue can accumulate, and performance can be impacted. It's a delicate balance between pushing boundaries and embracing renewal, where each day brings renewed determination and the chance for unparalleled performance.
