With its scenic coastal course, and the region’s strong sporting legacy, Challenge Xiamen provides athletes with a world-class race experience to round out the year over middle, Olympic and sprint distance racing, plus a duathlon and an Ultra option combining the middle and Olympic distances.

The race is centred around the Huandong Romantic Coast, located in the Xiamen’s largest inner bay, Tong’an Bay with its warm, calm waters the perfect location for the 1.9km swim. The 90km bike and 21.1km run incorporate the dedicated coastal track with its spectacular views and traffic-free passage. Fast and flat, it’s a course for a personal best.

Cao Bin, general manager of Xiamen Sports Industry Group Event Operation Co., LTD said, "Triathlon is a sport full of challenges, but also a stage to show perseverance and determination. In recent years, more and more people in China have taken part in triathlons, fully demonstrating the charm and potential of the sport. Xiamen, which has hosted triathlon events for many years in a row, is a city with triathlon genes. We sincerely invite competitors from home and abroad to participate in the Challenge Xiamen and enjoy the rich atmosphere of Xiamen triathlon, the coastal beauty of the sea and the unique cultural customs of Xiamen."
