Challenge Family is also announcing a new race tomorrow – Tuesday, Sept. 26. This involves a “Major North American Announcement” that can be followed live via Facebook. Which country or more specific location is involved is unclear. Nor is it clear what distance this new race revolves around. They will broadcast the announcement live on Facebook at 5pm CEST.
