Alfonso Rodríguez de Sadia, Race Director of Challenge Madrid, comments that: "To speak in a language that surely all triathletes understand as great athletes that they are, during the 3 editions held all the team that makes up Challenge Madrid we have faced many obstacles to make this project a reality.

To tell the truth, this is something natural that constantly appears in our lives and that depending on our attitude we may or may not win. In the end, with strength and tenacity we succeeded. Challenge Madrid 2019 is a consolidated project thanks to you triathletes, but also thanks to the work and enthusiasm of the Madrid Triathlon Federation, clubs, volunteers, organization, sponsors, Civil Guard, Civil Protection, Local Police, Municipalities of the Community of Madrid , Public Administrations, Media, etc. Thank you all and I assure you that we will continue working and persevering so that this project is a benchmark worldwide.".

Juanan Fernández, director of Challenge Spain, also highlights this great result: "When Challenge Family takes control of the Madrid Triathlon KM0 is aware that the economic investment would be strong and that the economic results would be negative, but we were also aware that we were facing a project with a medium- to long-term future, ie a "medium and long distance" project.

Most athletes like us say that, at times, they encounter many obstacles before they win, they manage to win and succeed because they are not discouraged by their defeats, by their failures or by the difficulties they encounter to achieve success, they achieve it because they beat the obstacles and persevere before them. Today Challenge Madrid is a reality and also an example within the Challenge Family franchise. "
