Super Sports and GRIT+TONIC.com invite you to join the most exciting triathlon the city has seen!
Whether you’re an experienced triathlete or looking at taking up the sport for the first time, this is the event for you! Do it as an Individual Team of 2 or invite some friends who can swim or run or bike and you have the making of a relay team – it’s as easy as that!

Super Sprint distance will make for a fast paced race with plenty of transitions and an awesome vibe in the race village! Lots of cheering, bantering and fun amongst all the teams competing to see who will be the ruler of the relays. Join your teammate 100m from the end and make sure you cross the finish line together and share in the finish line glory and photo.
Distances: Swim 300m, Cycle 6.5km, Run 2km

There are 2 relay options to choose from:
The INDIVIDUAL RELAY is more for the seasoned triathlete and consists of a team of 2 athletes who individually have to complete the full swim-bike-run distance before tagging their team mate to go do the same – and then you have to do it all over again! So you get to do 2 x super sprint distance triathlons in 1 race! Athletes have to keep the same order of racing: Athlete 1 does the full Super Sprint (swim, cycle, run), then tags Athlete 2 who does the full Super Sprint (swim, cycle, run), they then tag Athlete 1, who does the full Super Sprint again and then tags Athlete 2 who completes the full Super Sprint for a 2nd time.

The TEAM RELAY is a much more social approach to triathlon where teams of 2/3 athletes decide which team mate does a specific leg of the race. So someone does the swim, someone else the bike and another the run – and then you have to do it all over again! So each person gets to do their specific leg of the race twice! Team mates are not allowed to swap legs after the first round - if you signed up to do the swim then you have to do the swim for both legs and same for other team mates.

All important race information can be found in the EVENT INFORMATION and Download section.
