AUA secures the return of the AUA Rohrman in 2026

St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda — The AUA Rohrman is more than a race — it’s a

journey for everyone. Whether it’s a former European Champion powering through the 25K trail in under two and a half hours, a family finishing hand in hand after eight and a half, a child completing their very first triathlon, or a retiree proving they’re still strong at seventy, the AUA Rohrman unites athletes of all ages and abilities in one unforgettable festival of endurance. That tradition of testing limits and celebrating community continues in 2026, as the American University of Antigua (AUA) renews its Title Sponsorship for the 12th edition.

At the official sponsorship handover, Vernon Solomon, LRCP, MSc, C.Dir., Senior Vice President & Chief Operating Officer (Antigua) and Director of the Emergency Medicine Training Centre & Clinical Simulations at AUA, joined Rohrman Organizing Committee Member Allison Anthony to announce the renewal.

“The AUA Rohrman reflects the very best of what sport can do — inspiring individuals to discover their potential, honoring the legacies that built it, and bringing people together from every background. For some it’s about breaking records, for others it’s about finishing their very first event, and for many it’s about community and belonging. At AUA we are proud to stand behind this event once again in 2026, ensuring that the memories of Jonathan Rohr and Andre Simon continue to inspire athletes of all ages and abilities.”

Honoring the Legacies of Jonathan Rohr and Andre Simon

The event carries the name and spirit of Jonathan Rohr, a former AUA student and

triathlete whose vision and passion gave birth to the festival in 2012. It also honors

Andre Simon, another founding member whose commitment helped shape the event for years before his passing in 2023. Together, their legacies remain at the heart of the Rohrman’s mission: to bring people together through sport, resilience, and camaraderie.
