The annual About IT Triathlon Summer Series returns to the Eastern Cape this December with 4 rounds of a sprint distance triathlon taking place in Port Elizabeth and St Francis Bay between 13 and 26 December.
The sprint distance (750m swim, 20km cycle and 5km run) is an ideal starting place for any budding triathlete while many athletes use the series as final preparation for the Ironman 70.3 or full Ironman races early next year.
Port Elizabeth hosts the first 3 races of the Series, all starting at Pollok Beach, and taking place this Sunday (13th), Wednesday 16th and Sunday 20th December. The final event takes place at Port St Francis on Saturday 26 December.
Michael Zoetmulder, operational owner of Zsports Events NPC said: “each race day course will be different throughout the Series”. Round 1 on Sunday will see the 5km run route taking participants through the scenic Humewood Golf Course whilst the cycle is an out and back course along Marine Drive.
Wednesday 16th Triathlon is the annual ‘Pollok to Schoenies’ Triathlon which sees the 750m swim at Pollok Beach, the 20km cycle to the Sacramento Cannon in Schoenies and the 5km run being along the Sacramento Trail. Organisers collect all participants’ race kit and ensure that same is waiting for them in the transition area at Schoenies before their arrival on the bike. A chauffeur system is also offered for those wanting to get their cars from Pollok Beach to Schoenmakerskop.
