The new 2018 course will combine elements of the old, traditional course with the new course introduced in 2017, and is now \u00a0just one-lap with only 160 metres of elevation, instead of the 330 metres in 2017. Will this see a return to fast times and another long-course record attempt from Daniela Ryf?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

B\u00fcchenbach remains, the canal returns<\/strong><\/p>\n

As previously, the new course heads from Transition Zone 2 to the Roth Canal, through the industrial area before branching off south to the first turn around at Eckersm\u00fchlen lock. From there it heads back to Roth industrial area and continues north to the Leerstetten lock (turning point 2), then along the canal back to Roth. After a short loop on the Alte Allersberger road, the athletes run through Rothgrund to the Roth town centre. Then, as in 2017, it\u2019s off to B\u00fcchenbach before heading back to the centre of Roth and finally to the finish line stadium.<\/p>\n

Better run course design with unchanged spectator-friendliness<\/strong><\/p>\n

With this course, TEAMCHALLENGE combines all the advantages of the previous two courses. The result is a run which is almost as flat as the traditional course with only 160 meters of altitude, but which offers athletes more safety and a higher level of running comfort with less crowding on the canal. Another advantage is that the elimination of last year\u2019s two-way track, again, relieving congestion. But it\u2019s important to note the spectator experience that was so universally welcomed in 2017 is not compromised. 17 hotspots along the course remain with plans to add new ones.<\/p>\n

Less altitude equals more speed<\/strong><\/p>\n

The significantly reduced elevation, along with the fast running surface will make the athletes happy. Feedback after the 2017 race from the athletes indicated they found the double trip to B\u00fcchenbach very demanding, but they really enjoyed the amazing atmosphere at the hot spot there and the general spectator-friendliness of the course.<\/p>\n

Challenge CEO, Felix Walchsh\u00f6fer, comments, \u201cIt was clear to us from the outset that changing a three-decade-long tradition would be an on-going process to ensure the best result. That\u2019s why we planned from the beginning to conduct a post-race interview and take the athletes\u2019 suggestions into consideration. The feedback from our athletes is our most important source of knowledge and it goes without saying our philosophy is respect these wishes. But I think that we have found the ideal route with the combination of the two previous courses. Our anniversary athletes can look forward to a very special running experience on 1 July.\u201d<\/p>\n
