Challenge Family has announced Challenge Forte Village will once again deliver world-class triathlon to Sardinia’s spectacular south with middle and sprint distance racing returning on 25-26 October 2025.
“We are pleased to start an exciting new partnership with the Challenge Family. For over a decade, Forte Village has had a strong and enduring connection with triathlon, that has grown stronger year after year,” said Challenge Forte Village Sardinia Race Director, Andrea Metasti. “We have always believed in the power of international sporting events to extend Sardinia’s tourism season beyond the summer months while showcasing the island’s breath-taking beauty and unique charm to the world.
“With its mild Mediterranean climate, stunning natural landscapes, exceptional race courses, and warm hospitality, Sardinia is truly a year-round sports paradise. It is also a must-visit destination for those accompanying the athletes: beyond the thrill of competition visitors can immerse themselves in the Island’s wealth of history, rich traditions, vibrant culture, and extraordinary archaeological heritage. 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.”
“We’re delighted to return to beautiful Sardinia and to once again partner with Forte Village Resort,” said Challenge Family CEO, Jort Vlam. “Challenge 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. As one of the most beautiful Mediterranean islands, Sardinia delivers this in bucket loads! In addition, the team at Forte Village share our strong commitment to ‘all about the athlete’ and creating unforgettable memories for everyone involved.”
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’s most scenically renowned roads. The final two-lap 21km run is along Santa Margherita di Pula beach, until the ancient Cala d’Ostia tower, before finishing in the heart of Forte Village Resort.
