When <\/span>CHALLENGE<\/i><\/b>TAIWAN <\/span><\/i>couldn\u2019t take place at the original date in April this year, the organisation was clear: \u201cour race will nevertheless take place this year, we have a deal!\u201d This weekend, November 14th and 15th 2020, 5200 athletes are participating in the event. No less than 550 athletes started at the Long Distance, 1700 at the Middle Distance and tomorrow around 3000 athletes will participate in the shorter distances, Junior & Kids Race, making <\/span>CHALLENGE<\/i><\/b>TAIWAN <\/span><\/i>one of the biggest triathlon events of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on the smiles on the faces of all athletes, it\u2019s easy to say that <\/span>CHALLENGE<\/i><\/b>TAIWAN <\/span><\/i>was a huge success. \u201cIt was amazing to see the excitement of the athletes before the start, finally experiencing that race feeling again\u201d, says <\/span>CHALLENGE<\/i><\/b>FAMILY <\/span><\/i>CEO Jort Vlam. \u201cThe positive feedback and the smiles on the faces of all those athletes remind us of why we\u2019re doing this and how much we\u2019ve been missing this race feeling. All the messages we\u2019ve got from happy athletes afterward were heartwarming.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking at the event, <\/span>CHALLENGE<\/i><\/b>TAIWAN <\/span><\/i>didn\u2019t look very different in comparison with other years, despite the worldwide coronacrisis. As the situation in Taiwan is under control for a longer time, the event could take place as usual in many ways. Despite the fact that the event was more local because of the travel restrictions, the athletes had the opportunity to enjoy the event together and to race without many restrictions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As always the event excelled in bringing athletes together. The evening before the race all athletes were invited to join the welcoming dinner, showing the Taiwanese hospitality. The days before the race a big expo was organised where athletes could meet and get ready for their journey together. During the race weekend, all kinds of races were organised, which made it possible for the whole family to join this festival event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of the travel restrictions, <\/span>CHALLENGE<\/i><\/b>TAIWAN <\/span><\/i>was an Age Group-only race this year. The Long Distance triathlon was won by Thomas Hermann and Shao-Ping Luo.<\/span><\/p>\n
