Triathlon asks a lot of the body, and after weeks of stacked swim sessions, bike miles and run kays, then a full gas dice, you need to give it love.

The run course winds through the pathways of Green Point Urban Park and around the stadium precinct, creating a route that is both spectator-friendly and fast. It’s pan flat which helps you build rhythm while the twists and turns through the park keep things engaging and energetic.

Every triathlon begins with a slightly elevated heart rate, fear fogged goggles and adrenaline pumping through the body. At the Cape Town Triathlon specifically it’s standing beneath the magnificent mountain, starring out at the cold and slightly intimidating Table Bay, towards historic Robben Island 🇿🇦
