The events on offer include:

07:00 Start - Individual Sprint Triathlon

This event caters for the not so fit couch potatoes to the protein shake elite athletes, giving each competitor a solid workout over a short distance triathlon.

07:05 Start - Team Sprint Triathlon

If completing a whole triathlon is not one’s thing, or one’s work colleagues have talked one into taking part, then this Relay triathlon event is just perfect.

07:35 Start – Individual Ultra Triathlon

The Ultra Individual Triathlon or 70.3 distance race is for the more serious athlete, who is looking to challenge themselves. Although challenging, this event will be the most rewarding.

07:40 Start – Team Ultra Triathlon

Relay Teams will line up to see who can be the fastest over the Ultra Triathlon course. The team section is open to corporate and friends and family teams who want to be a part of the action but keep that team camaraderie.
