Lake Crackenback Resort in Australia to Host ITU Cross-Triathlon World Championships in 2016

After the successful staging of the Oceania Triathlon Cross Triathlon Championships at Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa in March, event organisers In2Adventure have secured the coveted world championship event to be staged from the resort next year.

The International Triathlon Union (ITU) Cross-Triathlon World Championships will be hosted from Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa in November 2016 and will attract the world’s best off-road athletes.

It will be the first time a world championship cross-triathlon event has been held in Australia.

“The cross-country terrain around Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa has a reputation as being among the most challenging in the world,” said Anthony Cleary, Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa General Manager. “We are confident that the world-class field of athletes will be impressed with not only the competitive landscape but also the beauty of the region and the quality of the facilities. We will be rolling out the red carpet for athletes across all areas of the business, especially food and beverage, spa and wellbeing as well as recreational activities.”

Now in its fifth year, the 2015 world championships will be held in Sardinia, Italy in September. Previous locations include Spain, USA, Holland and Germany.
