Get ready to bring the spirit of the Challenge Family racecourse into your living room! In an exciting partnership with ROUVY, Challenge Family is thrilled to announce the launch of the brand-new ‘Challenge Family Friday Ride’ series. Starting this Friday already, triathletes from all over the globe can join forces, ride iconic courses, and kick off their weekend with the ultimate indoor cycling experience.
A Global Community on Two Wheels
Training for a triathlon is often a solitary journey, but it doesn’t have to be. The Challenge Family Friday Rides are designed to bring our global community together. Whether you are prepping for your next big race or just want to stay fit, these rides offer the perfect opportunity to ride alongside fellow athletes, share the motivation, and experience the world’s most beautiful race courses from the comfort of your home.
You Decide the Route!
What makes this series unique is that you are in the driver’s seat – literally. To ensure everyone has time to prepare, we will host a poll on our social media channels approximately two weeks in advance, where you can vote for the courses to come in the future. From the flat roads of Challenge Almere-Amsterdam to the tough climbs at Challenge Kaiserwinkl-Walchsee, the destination is in your hands. It’s a great way to scout a course you’re planning to race or to rediscover an old favorite.
The Kick-Off: The Legend of DATEV Challenge Roth
We are starting the series with a bang! This Friday, we kick off with perhaps the most iconic backdrop in the world of triathlon: DATEV Challenge Roth. Participants will tackle a stunning 38-kilometer section of the legendary Bavarian course. Experience the atmosphere of the Solarer Berg and the fast, smooth roads of Franconia as we launch this new weekly tradition.
