This race season, we’re taking you beyond the start lines with our NEW podcast series: the TRI247 Podcast, powered by Challenge Family.

Co-hosted by triathlon legend and Challenge Family pro athlete liaison Belinda Granger, alongside TRI247’s own resident age-group triathlete Jenny Lucas-Hill. We’re going to be bringing you exclusive interviews with PRO athletes and other big names in the sport.

In episode 1, we sat down with triathlon’s new power couple Chloe Sparrow and Will Draper to find out what it’s really like to try and make a career out of PRO triathlon and how they got into the sport in the first place. Tune in now to find out how getting overtaken on a borrow mountain bike sparked Chloe’s competitive spirit, why Will made the move to triathlon from cycling and how the pair navigate the “rollercoaster” ride of trying to make it in the sport.

Listen now

Make sure you subscribe, because we’ll be dropping Episode 2 VERY soon. Featuring Felix Walchshöfer, we get the inside track on what goes into putting on Challenge Roth and why even 20 years later the race still gives Belinda Granger goosebumps. You won’t want to miss it!

Whether you’re looking for something to liven up your daily commute or something to keep you entertained while you’re training, the TRI247 podcast powered by Challenge Family is here to keep you motivated.
