Watch the PTO 2020 Championship at Challenge Daytona – LIVE!
What a rare please – we have a HUGE triathlon to look forward to this weekend. Not only that, we can watch it all live… without staying up all night in the UK and Europe either.
Here are the details on how to watch the inaugural PTO Championship, the first major event deliverable from the Professional Triathletes Organisation (www.protriathletes.org). The Daytona International Speedway is the host venue, at the third edition of Challenge Daytona.
2km swim / 80km bike / 18km run is the format, and there’s a 20-metre drafting zone, combined with a high profile mix of short-course, middle distance and iron-distance athletes. There’s also over $1million in prize money on the line.
