Sportoase Triathlon Festival
14/04/2017
Wuustwezel is looking forward to the Sportoase triathlonfestival on the 12th and 13th of August. It’s going to be a week-end full of sport, top-class sport and party.
On
Saturday, Wuustwezel is expecting over 1 500 sports enthusiasts who will
take part in our kids run, kids triathlon, trio triathlon and sprint triathlon.
This great day comes to an end with an amazing party until the early hours.
This event is on behalf of various good causes.
Sunday,
there will be an European Sprint Triathlon. The start of the elite women is
planned around 12:30h and the elite men start their race at 14:30h. The race
counts 4 laps of biking and 3 laps of running in the cosy centre of Wuustwezel.
Both participants and the crowd can enjoy this great track with continuous
activity. The two races are filmed by Sporza, the biggest television station in
Belgium. So, around 17:00h the athletes can watch a 20 minute during coverage
of the races on the big screen or any TV screen.
To enhance the interaction between athletes and villagers, and to make it more financially attractive for athletes, we are
going to work with homestays. Each athlete can join a Wuustwezel-family to
prepare themselves optimally. You can built a strong relationship which can led
to a collective party on our afterparty. Because, yes, also on Sunday there
will be a fantastic party.
Everyone in
Wuustwezel and the Belgian media are looking forward to welcome you, to see you
battling and partying.
