Congratulations if you managed to secure one of the highly sought-after slots! We can't wait to welcome you to the start line in Roth on July 4, 2027.

A huge thank you to you and the entire ROTH community for your loyalty, passion and incredible support. Every year, we are overwhelmed by the enthusiasm for Roth and the sport of triathlon.

At the same time, we know that we couldn't fulfil everyone's wish for a race slot. If you missed out this time, we're truly sorry. To maintain the unique atmosphere, high standards and family spirit of our race, we simply cannot offer an unlimited number of additional slots.

But Roth is about so much more than just a race slot! We'd love to welcome you on July 4, 2027, whether you're cheering along the course, joining us as a volunteer or simply coming to celebrate triathlon as a fan.

See you in Roth!

An overview of the registration waves for DATEV Challenge Roth 2027:

Athletes from the county of Roth (April 13 - July 9, 2026)

Traditionally, our athletes from the county of Roth have the first opportunity to get an entry slot. This is our way of rewarding local athletes for their many years of loyalty and giving them a guaranteed start. If you are a resident of the district and decide during the 2026 race that you want to participate the following year, you can still take the opportunity to register until July 9.

Athletes from the county of Roth can register here. When registering, it is necessary to provide a photo (front and back) of your ID card as proof. Athletes must always be resident in the district of Roth; in the case of relay teams, this applies to all three participants. After successful verification of your data, you will automatically receive a registration code the following week and can use it to register online within a week.

Deregistered athletes from the previous year (April 13 - April 16, 2026)

All athletes who were registered for the 2026 race and have decided not to start will receive an email on April 13, 2026, with which you can re-register for DATEV Challenge Roth 2027. If you (have to) deregister for the 2026 race after April 16, 2026, you will automatically receive the code for 2027 within one week of deregistration. Please also check your junk folder. The code will expire after a few days.

Donors from the Corona postponement (April 20 - April 23, 2026)

All donors who have supported DATEV Challenge Roth with a donation of over 100 euros after the 2020 coronavirus lockdown will receive a pre-registration right for two starts within ten years as a thank you. Donors will automatically receive an email with the exact information on April 20, 2026. Please also check your spam folder.

On-site registration (July 6, 2026) at the Triathlon Park open to all

There will again be an on-site registration on the day after the 2026 race. For this purpose, there will be the opportunity for registration for DATEV Challenge Roth 2027 from 9.00 a.m. on July 6, 2026. Athletes can register there according to the motto "first come, first served". The number of individual and relay entry slots is limited. Each person can purchase an entry (for themselves or another person). Only one registration code will be issued per person.
Due to the enormous popularity of the last few years, we cannot guarantee that everyone will get a slot. We also cannot predict what time you will need to queue up in order to be sure of getting a slot. We ask for your understanding.

Online registration (July 13, 2026) open to all

On Monday, July 13, 2026, we will open the online registration here at 10:00 a.m. CEST sharp. The slots will be allocated there in the order of registration. We will only carry out a pre-registration in which only name, surname, date of birth, nationality and e-mail address will be requested. Every person who has successfully registered will receive a confirmation e-mail within 24 hours with a personal registration code. This code can be used to complete the registration. Registration must be completed by July 16, 2026, 11:59 pm CEST!

Late Entry Draw (July 13 - November 9, 2026) open to all

If you weren't able to get an entry until now, there's another great opportunity. In 2025, there were 700 individual starting places and 35 relay places in the Late Entry Draw, which were selected at random. The same principle applies this time.

You can buy a ticket for 10 euros to be in the draw. 5 euros of this will be donated to charity. The other 5 euros will be used to cover transaction costs and fees for the registration platform.

You can buy as many tickets as you like here directly after the online registration closes on July 13 until Monday, November 9, 2026, 23:59h CET. The more tickets you buy, the higher the chance of getting a slot. However, you can only get one starting place. The purchase of a starting place is only for yourself, it is not possible to transfer it to another person.

The time at which you buy one or more tickets during the period has no influence on your chance of getting a starting place.
Payment is made by direct debit. After a successful draw, the entry fee will be debited automatically.

The slots will be drawn on Wednesday, November 11. All lucky participants who were successful in the Late Entry Draw will receive an email immediately afterwards (be sure to check your spam folder) and are automatically registered for the race of the year.

Please note: codes can not be redeemed after the expiry date.
