[Case] Triathlon Friesland

From beginners to experienced athletes: the triathlon in Stiens is a gruelling challenge for everyone. This event brings together recreational athletes and professionals. Participants in the BronSnijder Triathlon Friesland swim in the waters of the Kletsefeart, cycle through the Frisian countryside and run through the centre of Stiens. With different distances, the organisers ensure that both recreational athletes and top athletes experience what it is like to participate in a top-level and grassroots sporting event. For younger participants, the organisers offer a youth triathlon on the evening before the event.

Preparation of combined endurance sport event

The Triathlon Friesland is an example of a combined endurance sport event. In a combined endurance sport, participants practise several sports in succession. The classic or full triathlon consists of a 3.8-kilometre swim, a 180-kilometre cycle and a 42.2-kilometre (marathon) run. Since 2000, triathlon has been an Olympic sport with adjusted distances. This involves a 1.5-kilometre swim, a 40-kilometre bike ride and a 10-kilometre run, as offered by Triathlon Friesland. There are many other combined endurance sports variants, such as duathlon, cross triathlon and winter triathlon. Combining sports requires specific preparation of the event. The following four products can be very useful!

Race numbers: TYVEK, self-adhesive and tattoos

PROM'ES offers various race numbers for the different parts of a combined endurance sports event. Race numbers make it easy to recognise and identify your participants. They are also a handy way to show your sponsors' names. We provided the participants in the Friesland Triathlon with TYVEK race numbers. TYVEK is extremely strong and waterproof, making it a suitable material for triathlon race numbers. Self-adhesive race numbers and tattoos are also popular options for triathlons.

Triathlon stickers

We also provided the Triathlon Friesland with triathlon stickers. Triathlon stickers ensure optimal recognisability of the participants. We provide triathlon stickers in various designs, for example a sheet with stickers for bicycles, helmets and luggage.

Race number belts

Race number belts are elastic bands for practical attachment of race numbers. During a triathlon, the race number can easily be moved from the back to the front during the switch between cycling and running. PROM’ES supplies both standard black race number belts from stock and personalised race number belts with a customised print.

Triathlon medals

Participants in a triathlon or other multi-sport event achieve a unique feat. A customised medal is the ultimate reward and a lasting reminder of your event. Our designers will create a medal with a unique custom design for you free of charge. They can incorporate the event logo or a unique landmark along the route, for example. Custom medals are available from 100 pieces. Take a look at our special medal website for inspiration!
