This is the first race on this course. (Weymouth replaces Henley as the location for the Challenge race in the UK.) Therefore there are no course records, ratings or expected times.

Winning Odds
Male Race Participants
Based on his previous results, Stephen Bayliss has to be the pre-race favorite, but Joe Skipper will be raring to go for a win after his break-through performance as second in IM UK:
- Stephen Bayliss: 39% (2-1)
- Joe Skipper: 25% (3-1)
- Joel Jameson: 18% (5-1)
- Keegan Williams: 14% (6-1)
- Egoitz Zalakain: 3% (31-1)
Female Race Participants
We can expect an interesting race on the women’s side, the field is a great mixture of solid, established athletes (Jo, Tamsyn), athletes just getting started (Michi who has only one IM – but that was a sub-9h in Austria) and athletes coming back after a break (Charisa who hasn’t raced an IM for more than a year).
- Charisa Wernick: 40% (1-1)
- Tamsyn Hayes: 24% (3-1)
- Michi Herlbauer: 18% (4-1)
- Joanna Carritt: 11% (8-1)
- Gabriella Zelinka: 4% (21-1)
