ethos, a mass participation event organization and producer of the Lobsterman Triathlon and the Columbia Threadneedle Investments Boston Triathlon has teamed up with Challenge Aruba to provide this year’s competitors with an opportunity to win a trip to compete in Challenge Aruba.
Taking place on October 23, 2016, Challenge Aruba is the first half-triathlon to take place in Aruba. The event offers two distances: a long distance triathlon (1.9 km swim, 90 km bike and 21.1 km run) and a sprint distance triathlon (750 m swim, 22,5 km bike and 7 km run).
One winner from the 2016 Lobsterman Triathlon will receive a travel package for Challenge Aruba, including free entry to the Challenge Aruba half triathlon, 3 free nights in an official Race Hotel and free airfare to Aruba. One winner will be selected from the pool of registered athletes at the race on Saturday, September 17, 2016. All registered competitors are eligible to win.
“We are excited to team up with Challenge Aruba to offer triathletes competing in the Lobsterman Triathlon a chance to win a travel package for the inaugural race in Aruba,” said Michael O’Neil, president of ethos. “Competing in triathlons spans geographic borders, creating a community across cultural divides. Challenge Aruba is an opportunity for triathletes to experience this. It’s going to be a great way for our athletes to stretch the 2016 racing season.”
Challenge Aruba provides athletes with a stunning location to participate in an event, in addition to a perfect vacation spot for friends and family alike. Participants can end their triathlon season on a flat, fast course along the aqua waters of the Caribbean, with warm sun, a cool breeze and white sand beaches to inspire them– a true race in paradise!
