The Europe Triathlon Championships are the main triathlon championships in Europe organised by Europe Triathlon. Conducted over the 'standard' or 'Olympic' triathlon distance of a 1500m swim, a 40 km bike and 10 km run, the event has been run since 1985.
From the 2018 edition in Glasgow, every four years the standard distance championships will be part of the European Championships multi-sport event.[1][2]
The record for most wins in the men's event is four, shared by the Dutchman Rob Barel, who won the first four editions, and Briton Alistair Brownlee and the Spaniard Javier Gómez Noya. Nicola Spirig from Switzerland holds the outright record of six wins in the women's event.
The Europe Triathlon Sprint Championships over a 750m swim, 20 kilometre bike and 5 kilometre run, have been held separately every year since 2016, and sporadically before that, and have also adopted the Europe Triathlon Championships name since 2022. In addition, Triathlon has been a European Games event since 2015, but is not regarded as the continental championships.
