At the same time, DATEV Challenge Roth is a big family festival, including a great surrounding program with many different activities as triathlon expo at the Roth Triathlon Park from Thursday to Monday, a NightRun, a Junior Challenge and a Challenge for all, a Challenge Women run and a Finish-Line Party on race day. DATEV Challenge Roth starts at 6.30 a.m. with the swim in the Main-Donau- Canal (near the Hilpoltstein landing stage) and will finish with a spectacular fireworks display at the Roth triathlon stadium at 11 p.m.
It will surely be an incredible event to follow!
