DATEV Challenge Roth 2027
A long-distance triathlon at Roth: a 3.8 km swim in the Main-Donau Canal, a two-lap 180 km bike with the Solar Hill climb and a marathon finishing in the arena.
39 weeks to race day: base season
Plenty of runway. This far out, the win is a boring, consistent base rhythm: aerobic volume, strength, technique. The structured block starts closer in; what you do now decides how high it can climb.
Building for this one? Ironman training plan covers the sessions, the weekly shape and how the block is paced. The R.A.C.E. Framework explains why it is built that way.
Build my complete road.
Commit to the date and the work gets a shape: your countdown starts, the emails arrive in step with your build, and the app anchors a recovery-led block so the final week lands exactly on race day.
One confirmation email, then the road begins. Registering for the race itself stays with the organiser.
“The bike is two laps with the Solar Hill climb and the run finishes in the Roth arena, so plan fuelling around the climb on each lap. The organiser publishes no elevation figure.”
