QUELLE CHALLENGE ROTH 2010

Feel the spirit of the "world's best triathlon" race - Challenge Roth! "With around 2,500 individual starters and 500 relay teams from over 50 nations, a top field of starters and far more than 120,000 spectators along the course, the 9th edition of the Challenge Roth, THE WORLD'S BIGGEST LONG-DISTANCE TRIATHLON EVENT, took place in Roth on July 18 2010. The competition started 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 male race winner was Rasmus Henning (DEN) with 7:52:36. The current world record which was actually established in Roth in 1997 is 7:50:27. Female winner was Chrissie Wellington (UK) with an astounding performance and WORLD RECORD of 8:19:05, 7th place overall! On July 10, 2011, in the 10th anniversary edition of Challenge Roth, the city and county of Roth will experience this top-class sports event with well-known international triathletes. 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 around 6h00 in the early morning with the swim start at the Hilpoltstein landing stage and will have its grand finale at about 10:30 p.m. at the Roth Triathlon Stadium with a big fireworks display."
