    The ninth annual IRONMAN 70.3 South Africa takes place in East London this weekend, with a number of Grahamstown athletes taking part. 

    Terri-Lynn Penney is the only Grahamstown athlete to have completed the previous eight events. Other locals taking part this year are Grant Wolff, Megan Hobson, Catherine Deiner, Jayne Burden and Carey Pohl.

    The event, in its second year of Standard Bank sponsorship, starts from Orient Beach and begins with a 1.9 km ocean swim. It’s then on to the 90km cycle ride along the N2 between East London and King William’s Town.

    Road closures will allow the athletes to navigate the undulating course safely. The final leg is a 21km, run which consists of two-loops with spectacular ocean views. Finishers will be greeted in style with African dancers, music and spectators.


    To read about Grahamstown athletes' expectations, read the full report in Friday’s Grocott’s Mail.
