Challenge Denmark is a new race indicating Challenge’s continuing commitment to the Danish triathlon market (after loosing the races in Copenhagen and Aarhus when WTC bought the company running these races). Race director Claus Vesterby (husband of Pro athlete Michelle Vesterby) is trying to build a great race that also appeals to the family of athletes – the race is run around the original Legoland in Billund, Denmark. In addition to the full distance race covered in this post, there is another one over the half distance with strong athletes such as Martin Jensen, Dirk Bockel or Mary Beth Ellis on the start list.
As this is the first time the race is run, there are no expected times.
