B-Active Sports the organisers of the Midlands Ultra Triathlon are pleased to announce that they have extended the competitors cut off times, giving the athletes 5hrs 10min to complete the 1.9km Swim course and 90km Bike leg of the Triathlon.

 

The Swim and Bike cut off time for the ULTRA event was previously 4hrs 40min, however after reviewing it on the half ironman distance course, it was decided to extend it. The Swim cut off will be 60min (1hr) and the Cycle cut off will be 4hrs 10min. This extended time period will give athletes on the bike course extra time to fix mechanical failures and problems. Entries have been pouring in for this prestigious event, making it the most sought after Triathlon in the country after Ironman SA and the Ironman 70.3 SA.

 

Athletes wishing to compete in the 2011 event are encouraged to enter early as entries have been limited to 1000 competitors. 700 Places have been kept for the Ultra event and 300 for the Sprint race. Teams and Individuals entering before the 20th of February will be treated to a fantastic goodie bag as well as a athletes finish tent and physio's. Pre-entries for both events close on the 20th of February 2011, with registration taking place on Saturday the 5th of March at Midmar Dam between 10am and 3pm. Late entries will be accepted on Saturday at registration, which will be at the Midmar Dam slipway.
