Challenge Family has announced the Challenge Family & Friends Pro Ambassadors for 2020. The pro athletes supporting the international triathlon series are: Radka Kahlefeldt (CZE), Laura Siddall (GBR), Steve McKenna (AUS), Kieran Lindars (GBR) and Pablo Dapena González (SPA).
“We are so proud of these athletes as ambassadors, because they are the embodiment of what we stand for with Challenge Family: being family focussed, having fun and enjoying the sport, enthusiasm, perseverance and the drive to become better every day,” said Challenge Family CEO Jort Vlam.
“Radka, Laura, Steve, Kieran and Pablo are all very passionate athletes that we have come to know as real icons within the sport.”
Challenge Family pro ambassador, Pablo Dapena González, said “I’m really proud to be one of the ambassadors for 2020. From my point of view every brand needs people that are representing it.
“In my case I’m racing around 6-7 Challenge Family races per year and I have a really good connection with all the race directors about if I like the race, if they can change any part of the course and interesting stuff like this. In short this ambassadorship means a great recognition from Challenge Family to me and I’m extremely grateful for that.”
Incidentally, Challenge Family is expanding its Challenge Family & Friends ambassadorship this year by also appointing age groupers as ambassadors. Twelve athletes from all over the world will represent Challenge Family. In exchange, all ambassadors will receive free Challenge Family merchandise, benefit from Challenge Family sponsor deals and get a free registration for two Challenge Family events.
Challenge Family age group ambassadors are: Daniel Welsch, Zsofia Toth, Valeria Kleiner, Sabine Geyer, Anna Weinhardt, Shane Kent, Ronald Matamoros, Caterina Vacchi, Alexey Panfilov, Juan Pazos Eiroa, Shaun Crowley and Rajes Durbal.
