FAST FACTS

 

The Triple Challenge moves into a new decade having celebrated it’s 10th Birthday in 2011. This truly African experience takes athletes and teams on a multisport journey through some of South Africa’s most breath taking scenery as they Trail Run 20km from Pietermaritzburg to Camperdown through three game reserves, then mountain bike 52km from Camperdown through the beautiful valley of a Thousand Hills to Inanda Dam and end -off their race with either a paddle of 18km (with 2 short portages) for the Multisport event or a 7km Trail Run for the MultiX event. Athletes may enter as an individual or in a team of 2, 3 or 5 people with various options. Trail runners and mountain bikers wanting to race these specific legs may enter the Challenge Trail Run (10km or 20km option) or the Challenge MTB (53km) as stand alone events.

 

It’s a great challenge for friends, clubs, schools or corporates but especially for the individual that wants to “Race Themselves” over this testing and scenic course in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal.
