Mato Frankovic, Mayor of Dubrovnik says: “On behalf of the City of Dubrovnik it is a great pleasure to welcome triathletes from all over the world to our beautiful City.
The city of Dubrovnik is systematically investing in sporting events and we are especially interested in promoting sport in the unique setting that is Dubrovnik, Croatia’s prime destination and UNESCO World Heritage Site. We do hope all the participants will enjoy our city as we are delighted to welcome them”.
Dubrovnik Triathlon is being organised by Brighton and Hove triathlon Event director, Human Race founder and London 2012 Olympic Triathlon competition manager, John Lunt.
“This event is a fantastic end of season treat for those triathletes and their partners who have raced hard all season, Lunt said. “The weather is always great in Dubrovnik and it will be a fantastic race in an amazing location. The World Heritage site provides an incredible back drop and you will be guaranteed a very warm and friendly welcome in Croatia. We are limiting numbers in year one as the city welcomes a new sport to the city”.
