A few weeks ago, Roth was also awarded the 2021 German Championship by the German Triathlon Union (DTU).

This means that German and European professionals and age group athletes will not only fight for victory in DATEV Challenge Roth, but also for the German or European crown over the distance 3,8 km swimming, 180 km cycling and 42,2 , XNUMX km of race on foot.

"It is a great sign of respect for the Roth triathlon district that the governing bodies have approached us to organize the two championships here“, explained Felix Walchshöfer, managing director of TEAMCHALLENGE. "The region will do everything possible to be a great host for this double championship."

There will be an extra slot allocation for the European Championship.

200 of the 3,400 Slots have been reserved for the ETU and will be delivered to national associations.

All athletes who have already registered for the DATEV Challenge Roth 2021 in Germany and Europe and are selected by their national federations will be able to participate in the European Championship.

Renato Bertrani, President of ETU, said: “It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we announce that the 2021 European Long Distance Championship will take place on the iconic Roth long distance course.

I still have the memories in my mind, back in 2012, when we first celebrated our European LD champions in collaboration with Challenge in Roth. In the extremely difficult period we are currently living in, such positive news is highly welcome ".

This is not the first time that Roth has hosted the European Championship. In 1987, Detlef Kühnel and his team organized the title fights in the middle distance.

Challenge Roth was once again the venue for the European Championship in 2012 when Rachel Joyce (GBR) and Timo Bracht secured the victories.
