City Triatlon Leuven 2027

City Triathlon Leuven is a quarter-distance triathlon held in Leuven. It includes a 750-meter swim, a 36 to 40 kilometer bike course, and a 10-kilometer run. Triatlon Duatlon Leuven organizes the event. The participant field is large enough to feel competitive but not exclusively for elites, with over 300 participants listed in sources and one edition seeing around 1,000 starters. It is open to all ages and offers both relay and individual triathlon options. The swim takes place in the Vaart. Athletes then cycle through the course before completing a 10-kilometer run within Leuven and its surroundings. The race attracts notable Belgian athletes. Dries Matthys secured a win with a solo effort, Sara Van De Vel made a return to win the women's race, and Pieter Heemeryck's participation concluded prematurely when his time-trial handlebar fractured during the bike leg, following a recovery from a broken collarbone. The event also cultivates a local club atmosphere, with volunteers and club members playing a key role in its organization, race photos shared post-event, and results accessible online.
