Following the success of the inaugural Challenge Weymouth event, local race organiser Just Racing UK has announced that entries for both the Challenge full and Weymouth Half 2015 are now open.
The 2015 edition will be held on 13 September 2015, with half and full distance race distances on offer. The event has also been selected to host the 2015 ETU European Long Distance Triathlon Championships, with both age group and professional titles up for grabs at the finish of the full distance event.
Individual Challenge Weymouth prices – full distance
Early bird price until 21 October 2014: £320
22 October 2014 to 13 April 2015: £350
14 April 2014 onwards: £380
Team Relay Challenge Weymouth prices – full distance
Early bird price until 21 October 2014: £420

Entries are also open for the Weymouth Half event, at a flat rate of £180 for individual or £230 for a Team entry.
With a pro prize purse of €50,000 paying to 10th place in both the men and women’s professional events, the event is also likely to draw a world class professional field to battle it out for the European title. 2014 winners Joe Skipper and Eleanor Haresign have both hinted that they would be interested in returning to defend their titles, while two time Ironman world Champion, and Challenge Ambassador Chris ‘Macca’ McCormack is said to have also shown interest competing in the 2015 race.
