This week on Another Triathlon Podcast, we go behind the scenes of the most iconic triathlon in the world with the man at the helm—Felix Walchshöfer of Challenge Roth.

Hosted by @jennacaer, @fedemultisport, and @joshmvernon

From sponge kids to world records, Roth has become a triathlon mecca. Felix takes us deep into what makes this event so magical: the deep community roots, multi-generational volunteers, fair racing standards, and an electric race-week atmosphere that can’t be replicated. We talk about:

✔️ How Roth evolved from a crazy idea in the 80s to the bucket list race
✔️ The power of community, tradition, and 7,500+ volunteers
✔️ Solar Hill and why the best moments in racing can’t be manufactured
✔️ Publishing Race Ranger data publicly—for the first time ever
✔️ Roth’s bold move to increase anti-doping controls for age groupers
✔️ Behind the laser show, the afterparty, and Belinda Granger's legendary antics
✔️ Why Roth continues to sell out in seconds—and how you can make the most of your race week

Plus, Felix shares personal stories about racing himself, fulfilling a promise to his late father, and how walking the Roth marathon changed the way he sees every athlete.

A heartfelt, inspiring, and hilarious episode that proves Roth is more than a race—it’s a legacy.
