The Race

About Cape Town Triathlon

The Cape Town Triathlon is Africa's only big city triathlon. It takes athletes from a swim in the Atlantic with Table Mountain and the Cape Town Stadium as a backdrop, through transition at Grand Beach, and out onto the city's most scenic bike and run routes.

Standard and Sprint distances, plus solo and team options, make race morning accessible to first-timers and seasoned age-groupers alike. A Kids Fun Race rounds out the morning for the youngest members of the family. The bike leg is draft-legal, rewarding smart racing and pack tactics as much as raw power.
