Kick-off 2025 – Emotions, epic rides & spring expo vibes!
What a start to the season! Over 600 triathlon fans from all across Germany – and beyond – came together on Saturday to celebrate the beginning of the 2025 Challenge journey in the Home of Triathlon: together, sporty, emotional.
The Triathlon Park quickly filled with excitement, bikes, and smiles early in the morning – and then we were off! The highlight of the day: a 100 km ride on the legendary DATEV Challenge Roth course. Whether pushing the pace, chatting along the way, or simply soaking in the scenery – everyone found their own rhythm on the road.
And because a real triathlon day doesn't end at T2 (or in this case, at the Triathlon Park), many continued straight into a relaxed run along the marathon route – pure goosebumps included.
Meanwhile, our Spring Triathlon Expo brought real early-season energy! From socks to saddles, fan gear to shoe testing – our partners like HOKA, Schwalbe, Incylence, AG1, Erdinger Alkoholfrei, Powerbar and many more filled the area with inspiration, innovation, and triathlon passion.
Those looking for a cultural twist joined our Triathlon City Tour through Roth – full of stories, history and insider tips. And the local Spring Festival added the cherry on top: fun and joy for families, kids, and supporters alike.
What remains is a day full of emotion, (the good kind of) sore legs, and excitement for what's ahead:
The Road to Roth 2025 is officially on.
Thanks to all participants, partners, and every helping hand who made this day unforgettable –
see you on July 6, 2025 at the world’s biggest long-distance triathlon!
