Als kind hebben we (ons organisatieteam, red.) allemaal zelf meerdere keren aan de start van de Junior Challenge gestaan en daar is voor ons het vuurtje voor deze sport gaan branden. Niet voor niets starten we Challenge Almere-Amsterdam met dit onderdeel; we geven de Junior Challenge graag een prominente plek binnen ons wedstrijdschema. Dat er nu ruim 550 scholieren aan de start verschijnen, is heel bijzonder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>De Junior Challenge \u2013 meteen ook een Nederlands Kampioenschap voor scholieren &#8211; vindt plaats op donderdag 10 september en gaat om 15:00 uur van start. Zowel leerlingen aan de onderbouw als bovenbouw doen mee. Alle deelnemers zwemmen 400 meter, fietsten 9 kilometer en lopen 2 kilometer. \u201cStart en finish zijn zoals altijd op de Esplanade, precies waar de beste atleten ter wereld twee dagen later ook starten en finishen in de strijd om de Europese titels. Het parcours gaat dwars door Almere: een hele bijzondere manier om de stad eens van een andere kant te zien.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De triathlonsport wordt ieder jaar populairder en jongeren raken steeds meer enthousiast over de combinatie zwemmen, fietsen en lopen: dat blijkt wel uit de enorme groei van de Junior Challenge die aankomende 10 september wordt gehouden tijdens Challenge Almere-Amsterdam.
