Challenge Family Race Awards Announced

The wait is over, the CHALLENGE FAMILY Race Awards were announced at the annual Race Directors’ Meeting which this year took place on Mallorca, following CHALLENGE PEGUERA-MALLORCA.

The Awards were developed in 2019 to provide recognition to the global team of race directors for all they do for the sport of triathlon through the delivery of their races. In keeping with the CHALLENGE FAMILY mantra, #allabouttheathlete, the Awards are decided by votes from thousands of athletes around the world.

The Awards carry even more weight for our race directors this year, given the additional pressure COVID restrictions have put on event teams around the world,” said CHALLENGE FAMILY CEO, Jort Vlam. “Those that were able to take place were determined to give athletes the opportunity to do what they love, to race, despite the extra health and safety protocols required. We also supported our pro athletes by holding no less than 18 pro races in 2021 and maintaining our US$150k World Bonus. We’re incredibly proud of our race teams and while not every race can win at the Awards, we recognise the commitment and dedication in all of them.”
