\u201cWith its mild Mediterranean climate, stunning natural landscapes, exceptional race courses, and warm hospitality, Sardinia is truly a year-round sports paradise.

We are thrilled to welcome the Challenge Family back to Forte Village and Sardinia for this incredible event and look forward to an unforgettable week of racing and celebration with all the athletes and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to return to beautiful Sardinia and to once again partner with Forte Village Resort,\u201d said Challenge Family CEO, Jort Vlam. \u201cChallenge Family events are not just about putting on a world-class race but are also chosen for their overall destination experience for athletes and their families.

In addition, the team at Forte Village share our strong commitment to \u2018all about the athlete\u2019 and creating unforgettable memories for everyone involved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the one-lap 1.9km swim in crystal clear water off the Forte Village Resort beach, athletes will take on the single lap 90km bike on fully closed roads through Pula, Domus De Maria, Teulada and Sant’Anna Arresi. The course is technical, including a long 7km descent, but spectacular with its breathtaking coastal section along one of the world\u2019s most scenically renowned roads. The final two-lap 21km run is along Santa Margherita di Pula beach, until the ancient Cala d\u2019Ostia tower, before finishing in the heart of Forte Village Resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
