From sponge kids to world records, Roth has become a triathlon mecca. Felix takes us deep into what makes this event so magical: the deep community roots, multi-generational volunteers, fair racing standards, and an electric race-week atmosphere that can’t be replicated. We talk about:
✔️ How Roth evolved from a crazy idea in the 80s to the bucket list race
✔️ The power of community, tradition, and 7,500+ volunteers
✔️ Solar Hill and why the best moments in racing can’t be manufactured
✔️ Publishing Race Ranger data publicly—for the first time ever
✔️ Roth’s bold move to increase anti-doping controls for age groupers
✔️ Behind the laser show, the afterparty, and Belinda Granger's legendary antics
✔️ Why Roth continues to sell out in seconds—and how you can make the most of your race week
Plus, Felix shares personal stories about racing himself, fulfilling a promise to his late father, and how walking the Roth marathon changed the way he sees every athlete.
A heartfelt, inspiring, and hilarious episode that proves Roth is more than a race—it’s a legacy.
