Unfortunately this race couldn\u2019t happen as well, but the team in Korea thought of something else to bring some excitement to their local community. The result: the world\u2019s first several-day indoor triathlon event!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The event consists of three rounds. In the first round, every athlete had the chance to qualify for the semi-finals.

The local team is trying to find a new date later this year to continue with the indoor series. \u201cFor now it\u2019s difficult, but we want to do everything to give the athletes an opportunity to race this year\u201d, says general manager Minseung Kim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Very fair cancelation options <\/b><b><i>CHALLENGE<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">GUNSAN-SAEMANGEUM <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2020<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As said, <\/span><b><i>CHALLENGE<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">GUNSAN-SAEMANGEUM <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">can\u2019t take place this year. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, we\u2019re happy that for this race the team is able to offer very fair cancelation options, while we know they are also suffering and are impacted by the situation a lot:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Athletes had the opportunity to get a full refund<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Athletes could receive a <\/span><b><i>CHALLENGE<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">GUNSAN-SAEMANGEUM <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tri suit<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, -backpack, and a wooden trophy -to store the medals of the online event-.
