organization

This competition was part of the Challenge Family World Series and the first edition took place on August 14, 2016. Due to a change in organizer, the race was a follow-up event to the Ironman Regensburg , which took place here from 2010 to 2013. This challenge competition was organized by the "Purendure Event GmbH", whose owners were the triathlete Sonja Tajsich and her husband Thomas.

For August 13, 2017, the national umbrella organization, the German Triathlon Union, had awarded the organizers of the Challenge Regensburg the hosting of the German championships over the long distance and the starting field was limited to 1000 registrations: 600 individual starting places, 300 Challenge For-Two teams and 100 relays .
