Two New Races Join Worldwide Challenge Series

The global race organisation behind the popular Quelle Challenge Roth (Germany), Challenge Neiderbronn-les-Bains (France) and Challenge Wanaka (New Zealand) has announced its expansion into Spain where two new events in the spectacular Costa del Maresme region will join the Challenge family.

Both Spanish races will be centred around Barcelona, starting with the Evolution Challenge Costa Barcelona Maresme over the half ironman distance on May 10, 2009. Athletes who want to tackle a full long-course race can sign onto the Challenge Costa Barcelona Maresme which takes place on October 4, 2009. Lined with white-sand beaches, this section of the Catalonian coast lies about 50km from Barcelona and south of the Costa Brava. The race start and finish will be at the resort area of Calella del Mar.

The courses for both events will be identical, with competitors in the half distance race completing single loops of a 1.9km swim, 90km bike and 21km run course. Competitors in the long distance race in October will complete two laps of each. The bike course is expected to be fast, covering smooth coastal roads with small rises but no major climbs – and it will be completely closed to traffic in both races. The run course heads from Calella del Mar to Malgrat de Mar and back along the any beach promenades with a mix of soft trails and asphalt underfoot Read More »

On the 13th of July in Roth, Germany, Chris McCormack will attempt to make the impossible possible as he sets out to defend his title at the Quelle Challenge Roth only one week after racing at Ironman Germany in Frankfurt. While some in the triathlon world might view the task as nearly impossible, the four-time Roth champion and the reigning Ironman world champion said he’s determined to make a go of it.
