DATEV Challenge Roth is and will remain an independent race.
Organized by Felix, Kathrin and Alice Walchshöfer together with a 16-strong team, rooted in Roth and open to triathlon fans from all over the world.
For more than 40 years, triathlon in Roth has stood for a world-class sporting event. Since 2002, the race has been organized as Challenge Roth by the Walchshöfer family and their team, fully independent and autonomous from Roth.
As a result, DATEV Challenge Roth is not affected by the current developments involving the Challenge Family.
At the same time, we maintain respectful, positive and cooperative relationships with the Professional Triathletes Organization, Ironman, the Challenge Family, as well as many other race organizers and governing bodies; Roth is looking forward to continuing the collaboration.
Even in a changing environment, we continue to see ourselves as an independent, stable and reliable anchor within the international triathlon community.
Our commitment remains unchanged: year after year, together with our volunteers, we want to deliver the largest and highest-quality race possible for age-group athletes and professionals, for fans along the course, for our partners, for the wider triathlon industry, and for everyone who lives and loves triathlon.
