The Challenge Family Professional Membership will be conducted on a calendar year, starting January 1, through to December 31 covering all full and middle distance Challenge events.<\/p>

Athletes will be required to submit a copy of their professional license issued by their respective National Triathlon Federation.<\/p>

Athletes whose National Triathlon Federation does not issue an official professional license, a letter from a representative of the NTF confirming your professional status will be accepted.

Challenge Family is proud to have a pro athlete bonus scheme connected to its races. The initiative provides professional athletes with the opportunity to race for a share of a US$100,000 end-of-season bonus as well as a prize purse at the races.<\/p>

The US$100k bonus will pay five deep across both men and women with the top ranked pro taking home $22k, second will earn $14k and third will win $8k, fourth $4k and fifth $2k. Ranking will be decided through a points system based on placings earned.<\/p>

Athletes are only able to count their best\u00a0six<\/u> Challenge Family\u00a0races during the season, of which no more than one can be a full distance race. In the advent of a tie the prize money will be averaged between the two athletes and corresponding places.<\/p>

For all other Challenge Family race prize purses and full breakdowns, please go to the individual race websites or contact Belinda Granger: belinda@challenge-family.com<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
