Who Else Has Challenge Roth on Their Bucket List?

Hey everyone,

Every year when Challenge Roth comes around, I end up following the race even if I’m not competing. The atmosphere, the crowds on Solar Hill, and the level of competition always make it feel like one of the most special events in triathlon. For those of you who have raced it, what made the experience so memorable? Was it the course itself, the organization, the spectators, or something else?

And for anyone still hoping to race it one day:

  • Is Roth your dream full-distance event?

  • What’s the biggest challenge you’re preparing for, swim, bike, run, or just getting a slot?

  • If you’ve watched it live or online, what moment stands out the most?

I’d love to hear your stories, race tips, or even why you’d choose another full-distance event instead. It always seems like there’s something new to learn from people who’ve been there.
