Elites from the world of cycling have been promoting Anfi Challenge Mogan-Gran Canaria 2021, which is scheduled to take place on April 25th, 2021. The early season event will see over 500 triathletes at the race.
The organisers add that the event ‘will be carried out under a meticulous sanitary protocol designed especially for the occasion, guaranteeing maximum protection of the athletes.’
Challenge Family notes that Anfi Challenge Mogan-Gran Canaria is the only international race on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria. It has the support of the Council of Gran Canaria; the Instituto Insular de Deportes de Gran Canaria; the City Council of Mogán and the Gran Canaria Tourist Board.
For the coming years, the event will also be supported by Anfi. The hotel group will be the new name sponsor of the event. A release from Challenge Family added… ‘We will use the hotels of Anfi as our official headquarters, and expect the best triathletes in Europe, just like every year.’
The organisation stresses that it will deploy a rigorous mechanism to avoid contact between the participants, in order to safeguard the health of the competitors.
‘We are sure that Anfi Challenge Mogan-Gran Canaria will arouse much interest and excitement for triathlon lovers, who are longing to race again after many months of inactivity due to the lack of races.’
José Luis Trujillo, General Manager of the Anfi Group, said “This new promotional event by the Anfi Group represents our support for top-level sports, without forgetting the various social projects that we are always working on. This step forward constitutes a way to consolidate the Anfi brand and present its image internationally.”
Trujillo emphasised that the triathlon could be “the best Anfi ambassador in the world.”
International renowned cyclists Mikel Landa (Bahrain McLaren), Román Kreuziguer (NTT Pro Cycling) and Mario Cipollini (2002 World Champion) have all lent their support to Anfi Challenge Mogan-Gran Canaria.
World windsurfing champions Daida and Iballa Ruano agreed, indicating that “We are on an island which is perfect for training and relaxing with the family. Despite the great uncertainty we are experiencing, Anfi´s dedication and commitment to sport in all its disciplines is the best way to promote Gran Canaria throughout Europe.”
