In its second year the race will take place in Chia, a \u00a0tourist destination in South Sardinia, Italy. Frodeno will be racing the 70.3 distance and his presence means all the other athletes will get to compete alongside the most iconic triathlete in the world.<\/p>\n
As the event\u2019s ambassador, Frodeno will promote the race globally through social media; sharing training tips and \u00a0live coverage of his race.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cI have had excellent reviews of the race. With a great organisation and spectacular landscapes, Chia seems to be a perfect place to enjoy sports to the fullest, and the Chia Laguna, within a walking distance from the course, a perfect resort to stay\u201d, says Frodeno.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am very excited to race in Chia, hopefully it will be a brilliant start of my European season and a good test for the longer race in summer\u201d.<\/p>\n
