Set to take place on Sunday, May 11, 2025, Challenge Salou returns at the weekend for its 10th edition, drawing over 43 professional athletes, as well as age groupers from 53 countries, to Spain’s Costa Daurada.
The fast, coastal course has become a highlight on Challenge Family’s middle-distance calendar and was voted Best Bike Course at the 2024 Challenge Family Awards.
The women’s race is headlined by Germany’s Anne Haug, a long-distance world champion and holder of the fastest ever time for a middle-distance triathlon. She will face competition from Italy’s Elisabetta Curridori, Belgium’s Nikita Paskiewiez, Spain’s Judith Corachan Vaquera, Britain’s Rosie Weston, and Canada’s Rachel Brown.
In the men’s race, Belgium’s Jonathan Wayaffe returns after several top-five finishes, while Britain’s Thomas Davis arrives off the back of a strong showing at The Championship 2024. France’s Paulin Philippe and Quentin Barreau, along with Spain’s Victor Arroyo Bugallo and Ernest Mantell, round out a competitive field.
Challenge Salou features a closed motorway bike leg and a flat beachfront run, contributing to its reputation as a fast and scenic race for both elite and amateur athletes.
