Challenge St. Pölten Triathlon

Race weekend would not have been the same without our amazing volunteers and the entire team behind Challenge St. Pölten.

From registration to the finish line, more than 1,500 volunteers were there to make this day unforgettable for you – and we think they did an amazing job. ❤️

Thank you, dear athletes! ❤️

With last weekend’s final edition of Challenge St.Pölten, a special journey has come to an end. Thank you to every athlete who has been part of this event since 2019 and helped create unforgettable memories.

We hope to welcome you again at another Challenge Family race soon!

We saw some incredible racing today. From the first finisher to cross the line to the very last, you all showed us what this sport is all about. Be proud of what you achieved!

Triathlon and .poelten – it's a perfect match. Thank you for being here today and racing with us!

What a race from Caroline Pohle! She took the lead right at the beginning of the swim and managed to keep it throughout the entire race. No other athlete came close to her. Congrats on a strong performance, Caro!

Frederic Funk wins Challenge St. Pölten 2026. It's his second win here in St. Pölten after his victory in 2021. After a good swim, he was in the front group on the bike and managed to secure the win on the run. Well done!

Race morning is here. Months of preparation come down to this moment. The course is ready, the athletes are ready, and soon the first starters will make their way into the water. We wish every athlete a safe race, strong legs, and a day to remember. Enjoy every moment out there and soak up the incredible atmosphere along the course. Let's go! ❤️
