The global Challenge Family series of long distance triathlons today has increased its global presence with the announcement of Challenge Cairns Great Barrier Reef, Australia.
The event is set to make an impact on the global triathlon circuit with ‘one of the most remarkable courses and a significant prize purse.’
Set in one of the world’s most iconic tropical locations, Challenge Cairns Great Barrier Reef will take place on 5 June 2011. It will feature a course memorable for the 3.8K swim in the warm crystal clear waters off Yorkeys Knob, the 180K bike leg that travels up arguably the most scenic coastal roads in Australia towards Port Douglas and a 42.2K run that includes the Cairns boardwalk before finishing in the heart of the city of Cairns.
“This is a hugely exciting development for the Challenge Family and we’re delighted to bring a new style and quality of racing to athletes, both age group and pro, in Australia,” said Felix Walchsh
