Good news for pro athletes who are eager to race Challenge Family The Championship: the prize purse for the race in Samorin is doubled to 100K euro. On May 22, athletes will give it their all to try to win the biggest share of the 100,000 euros that are at stake. That’s not the only thing athletes can win, because the race will also provide both champions with a one-week stay in the luxurious Strato Sphere of the x-bionic sphere hotel, allowing them to use all facilities of the Olympic training center. Athletes who finish in second to tenth place will receive one week of accommodation in the Junior Suite.
“This is a world-class event in a world-class venue featuring the sport’s top professional athletes, and it’s important the prize money reflects the prestige of the event and provides athletes with a pay day that is representative of their achievement”, Challenge Family CEO, Jort Vlam, states. “I’d like to extend a personal thanks to our partners at x-bionic sphere for their support. I have no doubt the athletes will make the most of the opportunity of a week’s training at one of the leading venues in the world. x-bionic sphere was created to offer athletes the most up-to-date equipped Olympic sports resort, and the facilities are second to none.”
