Feel the fascination of triathlon at the 12th Challenge Roth

With around 3,500 individual starters and 650 relay teams from over 60 nations, a top field of starters and far more than 200,000 spectators along the course, the 12th edition of the Challenge Roth, the world’s biggest long-distance triathlon event, will take place in Roth on July 14th. The competition will start with a 3.8 kilometres swim in the Main-Donau-Canal, followed by a 180 kilometres bike race and a final marathon of 42 kilometres. The race winner is expected to cross the finish-line in less than eight hours. The current world record – which was actually established in Roth in 2011 – is 7:41:33.

On July 14th, the city and county of Roth will experience this top-class sports event with well-known international triathletes under the Challenge label for the twelfth time. But the Challenge Roth is also a great family festival with a huge surrounding programme, such as the Triathlon Expo at the Roth Triathlon Park or the Finish-Line Party at night. The Challenge Roth begins at 6.30 in the early morning with the swim start at the Hilpoltstein landing stage and will have its grand finale at about 10:45 p.m. at the Roth Triathlon Stadium with a big fireworks display.
