Fazel Alley: Excels in 226 Brick Challenge 2023

Fazel Alley Secures Third at the 226 Brick Challenge

Tifosi Sports proudly celebrates one of our own — Fazel Alley — who pushed through pain and perseverance to claim third place at the 2023 226 Brick Challenge, a gruelling three-day endurance event that tests athletes across multiple disciplines.

Despite battling a grade two hamstring injury, Fazel tackled each stage of the challenge with grit and determination. Day one saw him complete a 1.9km swim. On day two, he endured a 19km bike race under sweltering conditions. Finally, he wrapped up the event with a tough 21km run — all while managing his injury.

“It was a wonderful prep for the Ironman I’m doing in March. The preparation went well, given the circumstances,” Fazel shared post-race.

Fazel credits the On Cloudboom Echo performance shoe for helping him stay grounded and injury-conscious throughout the race. Designed with a carbon plate, the shoe provided essential stability and reduced flex during his run.

“It helped me keep my foot in shape so it didn’t flex as much because of the carbon plate,” he explains — a critical factor in getting him across the finish line despite his hamstring strain.

Tifosi Sports and On are incredibly proud of Fazel’s achievement. His resilience, discipline and passion embody everything we stand for — and he’s proof that with the right mindset and the right gear, greatness is always within reach.
