Challenge Taiwan celebrates 10th anniversary with Asia-Pacific Championship 2022
Challenge Asia-Pacific Championship to be hosted in Taiwan in 2022 as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations.
From fledgling event to race where thousands of athletes start each year. Last weekend was a big highlight when no less than six thousand athletes raced at CHALLENGETAIWAN and next year will be an extra big party, when the event celebrates its tenth anniversary. In honour of that anniversary the ASIA-PACIFICCHAMPIONSHIP moves to Taiwan next year: in the weekend of 23-24 April 2022 this prestigious championship will be held at CHALLENGETAIWAN.
“We look back on a wonderful event and enjoyed all the thousands of athletes – of all different levels – who completed their race: whether it was the Junior Challenge, the Sprint Distance, the Middle Distance or the Long Distance. At the same time, we’re always looking ahead and doing everything we can to improve our event every year. In that respect, we can now look back on nine years in which a lot has changed and especially improved. We do everything we can to provide athletes with the most impressive race possible and, above all, an unforgettable weekend. Next year, when we celebrate our tenth anniversary, we will do this even more,” said CEO of CHALLENGEFAMILY ASIA-PACIFIC Jovi Lo.
At the ASIA-PACIFICCHAMPIONSHIP, the best athletes from the Asia-Pacific region compete against each other. “Because of all the travel restrictions we did not have a pro race this year, but next year I expect a lot of top athletes at our event. It will be great to bring the worlds of Age Group athletes and pro athletes a little closer together again and let everyone experience the hospitality of Taiwan in general and the Taitung region in specific.”
CHALLENGEFAMILY CEO Jort Vlam is also looking forward to the tenth anniversary of CHALLENGETAIWAN and the arrival of the ASIA-PACIFICCHAMPIONSHIP. “The team of CHALLENGETAIWAN knows how to surprise us every year again. Every year they are able to organize a huge, always successful event for thousands of athletes. The passion and enthusiasm with which they do this is an example for organisers around the world. With the advent of the ASIA-PACIFICCHAMPIONSHIP, CHALLENGETAIWAN will only become more enjoyable.”
