Challenge launches virtual race festival

The organisers of Challenge Roth have today announced the launch of Triathlon Fall Fest, which invites triathletes to train and race with Roth champion, Magnus Ditlev as well a Challenge Family all-star cast.

From 24-27 November, Ditlev, Frederic Funk, Kyle Smith and Belinda Granger, among many others, will land on online training platform Rouvy to meet, train and race online with the international tri community.

Anyone can join the unique series of group rides, races and webinars from home and try to challenge the elites with real power effort, and on real routes, such as Roth, Almere, Šamorín, and Wanaka. There’ll also be competitions throughout to win race entry and top tri kit.
