ÖTRV Press Release:
The European Triathlon Union “Europe Triathlon” has announced the date for the 2027 European Triathlon Championships in a press release. The event will take place in Kitzbühel from June 11th to 13th 2027. The ceremonial flag handover took place on Sunday evening at the conclusion of the European Triathlon Championships, which were successfully held last weekend in Tarragona, approximately 100 km south of Barcelona.

Spain’s Jorge García officially presented the flag to ÖTRV president Walter Zettinig, marking the transition to the next host country. The handover was supported by Spanish paratriathlete Eva María Moral Pedrero and Austrian paratriathlete Thomas Frühwirth, who had just won European Championship gold in his class.

Kitzbühel will host the European Triathlon Championships in June 2027. The most legendary sports town in the Alps successfully prevailed against three other candidates. This was officially announced today by the European Triathlon Union, much to the delight of the Austrian Triathlon Federation and the local organizing committee of the Kitzbühel Triathlon Club. This means that Europe's most important triathlon event will once again take place in Austria in 2027. Europe's best athletes will also compete at world-class level for Olympic qualification points.
