Including athletes like Levi Maxwell, Tim van Berkel, Tim Reed, Matt Burton, Steve McKenna, Terenzo Bozzone, Radka Kahlefeldt, Hannah Wells, Grace Thek and Amelia Watkinson racing for victory, spectacle seems guaranteed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With almost fifty pros at the start, <\/span><b><i>CHALLENGE<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">SHEPPARTON<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> which will be held on April 5th 2020, is remarkably busy and the best athletes in the world manage to find the race in Australia. Not that strange because of the unique flat and fast course, not only perfect for Age Groupers, but also ideal for all the pros looking for breaking personal bests and maybe even course records. Of course the local community, volunteers and spectators from all over the world coming to Australia, will cheer all athletes on their way to become the best they can be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pro race will consists out of a 1.9km swim, a 90km ride and a 21.1km run, and offers a completely new course with the event being held at the iconic Victoria Park Lake, Shepparton. The new course will deliver the same outstanding experience for triathletes that has made Shepparton one of the leading stops in the Australian calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Following the single-lap swim in the beautiful Victoria Park Lake, the fast, flat bike course is two 45km laps through iconic rural landscapes. The run course consists of three laps of lake, river and bush trails through the forest and alongside tranquil river flats with the finish, including legendary Shepparton crowds, on the banks of Victoria Park Lake in the centre of town.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Full start list:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%;height: 345px\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 100%;height: 23px;text-align: center\" colspan=\"2\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Men<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Levi Maxwell<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Mitch Kibby<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Tim van Berkel<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Leigh Anderson-Voigt<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Josh Amburger<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Fraser Walsh<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Tim Reed<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Lachlan Kerin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Matt Burton<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Matt Slee<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Terenzo Bozzone<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Justin Wendermuth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Steve McKenna<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Lindsey Lawry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Max Neiman<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Matt Lewis<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">David Mainwaring<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Michell Cunningham<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Luke Bell<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Levi Hauwert<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Simon Hearn<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Kieran Roche<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Alex Polizzi<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Trent Thorpe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Peter Jacobs<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Jihwan Kim<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\">Justin Gosh<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;height: 23px\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: center\" colspan=\"2\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Women<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Radka Kahlefeldt<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Maighan Brown<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Hannah Wells<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Laura Armstrong<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Grace Trek<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Naomi Washizu<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Amelia Watkinson<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Moya Johanson<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Courtney Gilfillan<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Rachael Wales<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Chloe Lane<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Sarah Short<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Kirra Seidel<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Laura Wood<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Penny Slater<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Holly Khan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Renee Kiley<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Els Visser<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Claire Davis<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A beautiful and iconic race like CHALLENGESHEPPARTON deserves an equally amazing pro field and therefore it is that CHALLENGEFAMILY proudly presents some very strong athletes who will race in Australia.
