A duathlon consists of a running distance, a cycling lane and then again a running distance, which are carried out directly behind each other. Since 2002, the long-distance duathlon in Zofingen has the sequence of 10 km (6.2 mi) running, 150 km (93 mi) cycling and 30 km (19 mi) running.[2]

History

Established in 1989, the Powerman Zofingen is to duathletes what the Ironman Hawaii is for triathletes. Bruno Imfeld and Urs Linsi brought the Powerman in Switzerland to life. The first race took place on 4 June 1989 over the distances 2.5 km (1.6 mi) running – 120 km (75 mi) cycling – 30.5 km (19.0 mi) running. The first winners celebrated were Hermine Haas (Switzerland) in the women's section and Andreas Rudolph (Germany) in the men's section.

One of the most famous winners in Zofingen is the Swiss Natascha Badmann - she won the duathlon in Switzerland in 1996, 1997 and 2000.[3] Furthermore, Badmann was the first European woman to win the Ironman Triathlon World Championship. She won the Ironman Triathlon World Championship in Hawaii in 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, and 2005. The most successful athlete ever was Olivier Bernhard. The Swiss won the Duathlon eight times and earned the nickname "King of Zofingen".[4][5][6] In January 2010, Olivier Bernhard, together with David Allemann and Caspar Coppetti, founded On AG and is involved in the development of running shoes.[7]
