The Challenge Family series of long-distance triathlons has a new home in the United Kingdom with the announcement of Challenge Wales on 18 June 2022. The middle-distance race will take place along Pembrokeshire\u2019s spectacular coastline, with a course that is already recognised as one of the best in the UK.<\/p>\n
Formerly the award-winning Wales Triathlon, run by leading multisport event organisers, Activity Wales Events, Challenge Wales will take place in Fishguard with its sheltered Fishguard Bay swim, hilly but breathtaking bike course and astonishingly scenic run course with sea views at every turn.<\/p>\n
Matthew Evans, CEO of Activity Wales Events, said, \u201cWe are delighted to be announcing this latest partnership with Challenge Family.\u00a0 The location of the event is incredible, in that the course is picturesque, yet rewarding and the local community support will welcome and develop a world-class event, like no other in the UK.\u00a0 The event will use a local team, local providers and support the local community which has always been our strategy since our inception \u2013 something the events industry really needs after two years out of service and what we as Activity Wales Events advocate as standard. As a team, we are incredibly proud to be bringing such a prestigious event to the UK and especially this part of Wales. It is a huge statement of how far triathlon has developed in Wales over the past 10 years.”<\/p>\n
\u201cWe could not hope for better partners in Matthew and his team at Activity Wales Events to re-establish Challenge Family in the UK,\u201d said Jort Vlam, CEO of Challenge Family. \u201cTheir strong commitment to athlete and spectator experience, support of the local community and delivery of spectacular events that exceed expectations are all synonymous with Challenge Family\u2019s ethos and commitment to triathlon. We very much look forward to working with them to deliver our first Welsh event and showcase this stunning region to the world!\u201d<\/p>\n
