Cagliari, October 19 (askanews) – The new edition of the Challenge Forte Village Sardinia will be held on October 24th and 25th. This event is part of the international Challenge Family triathlon circuit, bringing together professional athletes, sports enthusiasts, and families at the Santa Margherita di Pula resort, combining high-level triathlon with an inclusive and festive spirit. “The Challenge Forte Village Sardinia,” Andrea Mentasti, race director of the Challenge Forte Village Sardinia, told askanews, “is a triathlon race over two distances: sprint distance and medium distance.
The first race is on Saturday and the second race is on Sunday. It's a race with professional athletes from all over the world, but it's also a race for amateurs who come to Sardinia to discover a new destination, ride the most beautiful roads in southern Sardinia, and spend time with friends at the end of the season.
The cycling route will pass through Santa Margherita di Pula, Domus de Maria, Teulada, and Sant'Anna Arresi, alternating climbs, descents, and spectacular views of the hinterland and along the coast of southern Sardinia, arriving in the heart of the Forte Village Resort. "The month of October, especially in recent years," added the director, "is an extraordinary time for sports enthusiasts and those who want to enjoy the outdoors and cycle in milder temperatures and without traffic.
For Forte Village, it represents an opportunity to embrace even more sport and welcome a less vacation-oriented and more active target audience." With many professional athletes competing, but also with the possibility of participating open to all, including relay teams, the race represents the resort's vocation to combine tourism and sport. "The triathlon," concluded Mentasti, "is a discipline that consists of three sections: swimming, cycling, and running. In our case, I would also like to add a fourth because it is the final moment of conviviality with your fellow adventurers. It has been a fundamental element since our first edition in 2013 and is greatly appreciated by our repeat guests." And it is precisely this aspect of meeting and connecting, they assure at Forte Village, that is what they care about most here.
