British wetsuit brand Zone3 is the new wetsuit and swimwear partner of DATEV Challenge Roth powered by hep. Athletes taking on the ‘world’s largest long distance triathlon’ will be able to benefit from Zone3 special offers and wetsuit rental for race day. The event takes place on June 25, 2023, in southern Germany.
Challenge Roth Race Director Felix Walchshöfer said “Zone3 is well-known in the triathlon world for their absolutely premium products.
“Just like us, they work to become better and better and to support the athletes in the best possible way. Their thoughts on sustainability are also right in line with our ideas, which is why we are very pleased to have Zone3 as our new partner. Athletes also benefit from top products and environmentally friendly wetsuits.”
James Lock, founder and owner of Zone3, added “It’s fantastic to start the partnership with the biggest long distance race in the world as we are already partnering with 18 events from the global Challenge Family series.
“Since 2009, Zone3 has focused on supporting as many athletes, clubs and events as possible and has a deep-rooted commitment and passion for the sport of triathlon. The new Challenge Roth partnership helps to crystalize this commitment and we are incredibly proud to be working with one of the most iconic and desirable events in the world.
“Everybody at Zone3 is excited to be supporting the athletes who are entered into this year’s event, and we look forward to seeing everybody at the expo.”
Zone3 claims to use more eco-friendly neoprene, with recycled tyres and limestone used to replace petrochemicals. Water-based glue is deployed instead of solvent-based glue to bond seams, and linings are made from recycled polyester. According to the wetsuit firm, 45 plastic bottles are recycled for every wetsuit.
