Race FAQs
TEAMS are welcome to enter for the Sprint distance events (Minimum age for Sprint is 16yrs).
A team consists of 2 or 3 members. Each team member competes in one discipline i.e. 1st team member = Swim, 2nd team member = Cycle, 3rd team member = Run. The Team event works like a relay. The team gets given a timing chip which will act like a batten and will get passed onto each team member in the transition area. Along with the timing chip, the Team also get 2 x race numbers which are worn by the cyclist and by the runner. The swimmer will get an official swim cap.
This is done on race morning during Bike racking. A Short Race briefing will also be done just before the Swim Starts.
The Event is timed by BOUTTIME. All athletes will loaned Chips at regitration. Athletes will be responsible to return these chips on the finishline. Lost or Stolen chips will be charged at R200.00 per chip.
