From bike to swim: Quintana Roo extends reach with Challenge Family

Having confirmed a long-standing bike partnership in late December, Quintana Roo and Challenge Family have announced a multi-year partnership naming Quintana Roo as the Official Global Swim Partner of Challenge Family.

Now in its 21st year, Challenge Family hosts over 30 long and middle-distance triathlons around the world. The extended product collaboration with Quintana Roo (QR) takes the original triathlon wetsuit brand to Challenge Family events throughout Europe, Asia and beyond.

“Very few know triathlon quite like Quintana Roo,” said Jort Vlam, Challenge Family CEO. “With the development of the first triathlon- specific bike and wetsuit to their name, their contribution to the sport is unquestionable.

“It is this commitment to athlete experience that provides such great alignment with Challenge Family and we are delighted to add Quintana Roo as our Global Swim Partner, alongside our previously announced global bike partnership. Together we look forward to continuing to break new ground and bring the ultimate race experience to our athletes.”

Quintana Roo will have wetsuits displayed on-site – alongside a selection of Quintana Roo bikes – at select Challenge Family events across Europe including Challenge Roth, London, Samorin, Almere and more.

As the brand that created the first triathlon-specific wetsuit, Quintana Roo has maintained a strong presence in the triathlon community for 36 years. Its HYDROsix and HYDROfive wetsuits are constructed of premium materials, featuring minimal seam placement for maximized flexibility and strategic panel placement for targeted flotation, flexibility and comfort.

QR adds that it is the first and only brand with fit designed around body type rather than gender. The resulting wetsuits pair pro-level flexibility with comfort and flotation. The Quintana Roo wetsuit range is also augmented by QR’s HYDROspeed sleeved and sleeveless swimskin range.

With a direct-to-consumer sales model, Quintana Roo wetsuits are ordered by triathletes directly online at quintanarootri.com, and shipped from the brand’s headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA, to triathletes around the world. Each suit is backed by a 14-day money back guarantee and a two-year, no-fault warranty.
