That's still well done.

Instead of starting a new thread for this amazingly supported event i thought i should just post this here. 

 

32GI is a main sponsor for Challenge Roth and their South African Director Mark Wolff has so slots due to cancellations for next years event which will be held on July 1st. They do have to submit entries this weekend though so if interested act quickly.

I might just throw my name in ??

Chance of a lifetime.

Any idea of cost?

[shaper]

I made inquiries earlier this year.  Email reply on costs I got..........

 

It's a full package we get for SA through Challenge it includes the following: 

 

Eur1850 

It includes 5 nights accommodation at an awesome triathlon hotel in Schwabach

Transport from airport to hotel, and all transport through the event.

Bike Mechanics

The Entry

Course Recon and Bike/Swim Pratice 

Breakfast with Challenge CEO 

 

Very well organized trip and no fuss u are well looked after we don't need entire payment upfront the slot portion is most important by last week if August and the balance over time 

 

Kind regards 

Mark 

 

Edit, you will still have to factor in costs for flights and spending money on top of the above

My in-laws did the 2017 race through Mark Wolff and said it was an amazing trip. Just take into considerations the cut-off times are shorter then at an Ironman event.
