Challenge Family this 2017 lands in Portugal!

Interview with Paolo Leite, Organizer of CHALLENGE LISBOA

 

2017 begins with new challenges to meet, and thanks to the commitment of the renowned international brand Challenge Family, "Lisboa" it has become today one of the great goals for the triathlete this season.

The next 5,6 and 7 of May You have an appointment! An event that will bring together triathletes from around the world.

Challenge Lisboa is the only medium-distance event that takes place in a European capital

Paolo, after 11 years celebrating the recognized "TRIATLÓN DE LISBOA" and being already consolidated as an international reference, this 2017 decided to take the big step to CHALLENGE What endorsement does this brand bring to the participants?

After becoming an international reference after more than 10 years of experience, Lisbon had the unique opportunity to bring to Portugal one of the two leading brands in the world of medium distance and long distance triathlon, but finally our bet was for Challenge, without place to doubt.

Challenge has a more "familiar" approach, focusing on the participant, the companions and the spectacle that an event of this magnitude entails. Challenge is much more than a TRIATLON, it is a SPORTS FESTIVAL for everyone.

Paolo Leito, director Challenge LIsboa

Looking at the athlete How does it change with previous editions of HALF Triathlon Lisbon?

There are several aspects that attract the athlete to compete this 2017 in Challenge Lisboa, for the first time or repeat experience in the Portuguese capital.

On the one hand, Challenge will have its own final competition. An important point in our decision since it was something that the athletes were asking for. This year Lisbon will have 6 seats for each category for men and women with direct access to the final .... directly! Since it is a direct classification without the need to accumulate more points.

These are the places we have:

  • Top 5 pro man 
  • Top 5 pro women 
  • Top 6 men from each age group (total 66)
  • Top 6 women for each age group (66 total slots)
  • Top 3 relay men (only teams with 3 people)
  • Top 3 relay women (only teams with 3 people)
  • Top 3 mixed teams (only teams with 3 people)
  • Top 10 Corporate World Cup teams

 

In addition to the Media Distance test we have more events to be held during 2 days of competition Trialtón en Familia!

Challenge Lisboa will start on Saturday 6 in May with a test for children (Acuatlón), a walking race test of 5km for women in addition to a novelty this 2017: The first really test for the family, a "mini triathlon" in relay format so that families can really enjoy together and pass the goal as a family. This format also, being a small distance, allows the triathletes who compete on Sunday to participate in both tests. Also with fisnisher medals for everyone! Of course a "mini-triathlon" to enjoy.

  • A zone expo in meta. This format will also change, and we can find it next to the goal where the secretariat will be, briefings for athletes, seminars on sport and triathlon, nutrition, etc., etc.
  • We improved the race circuit on foot! This will undoubtedly be a great novelty, maintaining the spectacular nature of its circuit.
  • World Championship of Companies in relay format For the first time in history!
  • And a lot of other things, that will give a plus of quality to the event, with some surprises in an event that will be organized by the staff that has 10 over years of experience in Lisbon along with everything that the Challenge brand gives us.

Why Challenge Lisbon?

Of course, its hallmark is that it is the only medium distance test that takes place in a European capital.

After this, there are also many reasons why they make it unique and incomparable with other events, but I will only detail the most relevant ones:

  • Lisbon has a Unimaginable accommodation capacity, entertainment, transport, everything that gives you a great city that is fashionable as Lisbon to turn Challenge Lisboa not only into a sporting event, but into something that goes beyond and one, along with the sporting aspect, tourism and leisure.
