Duathlon World Championships 2021 in Aviles

Avilés is once again a world reference in sport as the Duathlon World Championships will be held for the second time in the city on November 6 and 7. After the success of the celebration of the world championship in 2016, the city again welcomes a multitude of duathletes from around the world in what will be the first international sporting event to be held in Asturias after the pandemic.
Avilés thus takes over from Pontevedra where the 30th edition was held in 2019 and that due to the pandemic did not take place in 2020.
