Challenge Bahrain
CHALLENGE BAHRAIN will
once again break new
grounds in the triathlon
world as the world’s largest
half distance triathlon
The event will be taking place on
20th November 2015 in the Kingdom
of Bahrain where thousands of
athletes and spectators from
around the world will be taking
part in the 113km challenge, which
includes a 1.9km swim, 90km bike
followed by a 21.1km run.
The course is designed to take
athletes through a remarkable
journey in the northeast side of
the Kingdom of Bahrain where the
majority of action will be taking
place in Amwaj Islands; a group
of six man-made islands each
offering a truly enviable lifestyle
and a vibrant community.
Located at the heart of Amwaj
Islands, the swim leg will be taking
place at The Lagoon as the sun sets;
the athletes will then complete the
bike and run during the evening
along a well-lit course. The unique
format allows all finishers to enjoy
the festive night-time finish line
celebrations normally reserved for
longer distance races.
CHALLENGE BAHRAIN will also
double as the grand final of the
prestigious Nasser Bin Hamad
Triple Crown which will see Daniela
Ryf (SUI) and Terenzo Bozzone
(NZL), race against the world’s best
in a bid to become triathlon’s first
instant millionaires.
CHALLENGE BAHRAIN is an inspiring
event open to athletes of all abilities
over the age of sixteen. Participants
are welcome to join and complete
the challenge either individually
or as a team comprised of 2-3
members. The much – anticipated
action from CHALLENGE BAHRAIN
will be broadcast on TV across the
Middle East and Europe.
