Three more sleeps until the start.
Who is taking part in a Trophy event?
The 5.9-kilometre Winter Challenge starts next Saturday, 22 February. Those who take part - now or at the official start - will benefit in several ways.
While some people dress up and parade around the houses, others lace up their running shoes. Both are fun. The Winter Challenge starts at the athletics facility in Herti and is identical to the middle lap of stage 05_Zug. The time for the challenge is recorded using a smartphone. The stamp cards will only be used from the official start on March 23.
It's worth taking part
A Challenge or Trophy round is not only good for the mind and body, with a bit of luck you could also win a great prize at the end of the season. Shopping, training and travel vouchers worth several hundred francs will be raffled off among all participants. The fastest runners in the running, racing bike and mountain bike categories will win attractive prizes. And there's more! Anyone who ranks in the Trophy ranking list and prints their personal participation certificate at www.zuger-trophy.ch will benefit from discounts and goodies from five Trophy partners.
Interesting workshops
Four Trophy sponsors are offering free workshops on various topics over the course of the season. On April 25, Christian Pötzsch from cp sports will be giving tips on which strength exercises can be used to improve triathlon times. On May 13, the bike specialists from Stöckli Swiss Sports will be showing tricks for bike technique and on May 19, Renato Balasso will be providing helpful input on the right technique for running in the Dynamix running store.
