ROTH, Germany (25 August 2010) -- All places for international athletes at the 2011 Challenge Roth have been taken, signalling the official end to entries for the 10th anniversary edition of the iconic race on 10 July 2011.
All places for individual competitors and teams have been taken, with athletes from 61 nations making the commitment to start---the largest international contingent in the race's 10 years as the Challenge Roth. Start places for athletes from Great Britain have grown significantly, with more athletes coming from the UK than ever before---and entries from Australia have doubled to 50.
Athletes who have so far missed out have one more chance at an entry in the race---the Nikolaus-Action set for 6 December. At 10am (CEST), race organisers will open online entries for 200 entries for individual starters and another 50 places for teams that have been returned by tour organisers. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to local charities. Entries will be available online at the race website, Challenge-Roth.com.
