In the words of PTO CEO Sam Renouf: “The Triathlon World Tour will put triathletes at the heart of one bigger, clearer and more connected sport. So we are excited to announce the inclusion of events from the World Triathlon circuit and Challenge Family. As well as being fantastic events in their own right, they will ensure the history, emotion and strong sense of community that makes our sport special remain at the heart of triathlon’s future growth.”

Challenge Family CEO Jort Vlam also welcomed the announcement, pointing to a clearer pathway for professional athletes and a wider audience for triathlon: “Becoming part of the Triathlon World Tour is a milestone for Challenge Family. For more than twenty years our races have been built around the athlete experience. Now, as part of one unified structure, we can help bring triathlon to a much wider audience and inspire more people to take on their own challenge. Bringing the events into the Challenger tier also gives professional athletes a clear pathway from our start lines to the top tier Championship events. Meanwhile our long distance races, headlined by Challenge Roth, remain the home of Challenge full-distance racing. Every athlete, every challenge: that doesn’t change.”
