DATEV Challenge Roth takes off with Condor Airlines

Condor, the German airline based in Frankfurt, is the new transport partner at DATEV Challenge Roth, ‘the world’s largest long-distance triathlon’. According to the event organising team, all triathletes as well as volunteers in Roth can benefit directly from the new partnership.

“With DATEV Challenge Roth, we will support all sports enthusiasts in reaching the finish line safely together,’ said Magdalena Hauser, Director Communications & Marketing at Condor Airlines.

“We are delighted to be taking part for the first time in July and cheering on the athletes. We want to encourage this important target group in their passion for sport as part of the event, but also beyond that, and offer appropriate support when they are travelling.”

Race Director Felix Walchshöfer, said “I am fascinated by aeroplanes. I’ve been following the industry since I was a child and have always loved flying with Condor. I am therefore all the more delighted that we have been able to gain an industry leader in Condor as a partner in Roth.”

He continued, “The airline stands for passion and, with its fleet modernisation, is a pioneer when it comes to customer comfort and responsible travel. These are ideal complements to DATEV Challenge Roth. We particularly recommend that athletes from overseas travel to Germany with Condor for reasons of sustainability.”

Athletes from over 90 nations visit Roth in southern Germany every year. Thanks to newly expanded routes, especially to the USA, Condor has options for many traveling triathletes. In the new A330neo, guests will travel with a fuel consumption of 2.1 litres per 100 kilometres. It is also the first long-haul aircraft in the world that is already certified for the reduction in CO2 emissions required from 2028.

This year, Condor is giving away starting places for the DATEV Challenge Roth for the first time and also offers options for athletes all year round with a variety of active sports destinations.

With the Condor Activity Card, athletes can take their own sports baggage on flights in Europe or worldwide free of charge for a year with a one-off booking..

The event volunteers in Roth will also benefit directly from the partnership. Condor will provide flight vouchers for a raffle at the traditional volunteer party on the Monday after the race.
