Roth has been a staple in the triathlon calendar almost since the sport’s inception. A typical ‘A race’ for some of triathlon’s finest, Roth is where Jan Frodeno set the long-distance triathlon world record back in 2015 with a time of 7:35:39.
A world-class field is set to toe the start line on Sunday 3 July, with four world champions down to race, including a German battle between Ironman world champions Patrick Lange and Sebastian Kienle. The USA’s Sam Long and Maurice Clavel (GER) will also be looking to push the pace at the front.
On the women’s side, last year’s podium is set to return in the shape of current Ironman World Champion Anne Haug and British elites Laura Siddall and Fenella Langridge. They'll have the women's world record in their sights set on the very same course in 2011 by Chrissie Wellington in a time of 8:18:13.
