5150 Bela Bela Triathlon Race Week has arrived!

The big weekend has arrived as Bela Bela gears up for South Africa’s biggest Standard Distance Triathlon. This year’s race is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet with nearly 1000 athletes entered. Forever Resorts Warmbaths is the place to be this Saturday, 25 August.
 
Last year saw nearly 500 athletes taking part in the inaugural event with South Africa’s Travis Johnston and Lucie Zelenkova from the Czech Republic taking the spoils. This sparked interest from far and wide and as a result record athlete numbers have been recorded this year with nearly 1000 athletes, 31 teams and 26 international athletes from 11 different nations. An astonishing 53.03% of the entrants will be taking part in either their first ever Standard Distance Triathlon or their very first triathlon event.  The race consists of a 1.5km swim, 40km bike and 10km run.
 
It promises to be an exciting day for athletes and spectators alike with Forever Resorts offering a discounted entrance fee of R50 per person for the public on Race Day on 25 August.
