Challenge Davos (Aug 29th) – Seedings

ChDavos Updates:

  • Aug 26th: A few athletes that were on the start list apparently can’t or won’t race, posting their updates on social media. I have crossed them out in the seedings.
  • Aug 28th: I have added more information about prize money and how the additional money made available by the PTO might be allocated based on “net times”.

It looks as if there is finally going to be Pro race, and the field for Challenge Davos develops into a “who-is-who” of European racers.

Course Rating

The Course Rating for Challenge Davos is 17:04. The course is quick because it has a shorter bike course than what is normal for half-distance races: It’s only 54km, but a tough course riding going twice over the Flüelapass.

Prize Money

Challenge Davos has a prize purse of 19.000 EUR, paying 6 deep.

In addition, the Professional Triathletes Organisation PTO makes another 21.000 EUR available. It will be paid out to the athletes with the 20 best “net times” across male and females Pros, deducting 29:39 from the female times. (More details can be found in the PTO press release “Professional Triathletes Organisation Announces Doubling the Challenge Davos Prize Purse“.) In “M&F” column in the lists below I have calculated a likely order of athletes based on the net time. However the differences are often quite small, so there is a lot that can change on race day and it’s an exciting addition to the overall race.
