The Team Challenge presented by New England Endurance Events
The Team Challenge is a unique competition designed for clubs looking for their first team event of the season. The Team Challenge is comprised of 2 competitive events and by registering for the Team Challenge you will enter 4 teammates into each of these events.  The combined time of all 4 team members in an event creates a Team Time and the two Team Times from each of the 2 competitions is added up to determine an Overall Team Time… fastest Overall Team Time wins!

 

The 2023 Team Challenge is comprised of the following three competitions:

  • The FastSplits Indoor Bike Time Trial: Team Challenge teams have 4 members come to the event with their bikes which are affixed to CompuTrainers. Athletes then race a virtual 10k course that simulates the feel of riding the open roads; the TT takes place from the RACE-MANIA expo floor inside BU’s Fit Rec Center. Individuals will also be competing in this time trial and prizes will be awarded to the fastest 3 males and 3 females.
  • The Relay Team Swim Challenge: This is a traditional relay team race where each member swims 200 yards. Athlete 1 will swim first and once they touch the wall after competing the 8th length of a 25 yard land Athlete 2 will begin swimming and so forth. All members of the fastest team will receive a pair of Finis Smart Goggle Kits (A $199 value!); this event takes place in the pool inside BU’s Fit Rec Center.
