Less than a week to enter 5150 Bela Bela Triathlon

With less than a week until the close of entries to the 5150 Bela Bela Triathlon and less than five weeks until the race itself, the hype and excitement is building around a race boasting some prominent names in South African triathlon.
 
The inaugural 5150 Bela Bela Triathlon last year saw South Africa’s Travis Johnston and Czech, Lucie Zelenkova walk away with the inaugural titles. This year Zelenkova, a former Ironman and Ironman 70.3 champion, will be back to defend her title in Bela Bela.
 
Together with Zelenkova, the Elite field at this stage will feature the likes of Kent Horner, Rudolf Naude and Henri Schoeman on the men’s side and Riana De Lange, Andrea Steyn and Australia’s Anel Steward in the ladies’ field. Entries are still open so we can expect more big names to enter before Monday.
 
5150 Bela Bela Triathlon also includes a team element and this year Team 5FM will be taking part consisting of Angie Khumalo from The Roger Goode Show and Fikile ‘Fix’ Moeti from The Rob Forbes Show. The ladies from the airwaves have been going all out in training to take on South Africa’s biggest standard distance triathlon along with the nearly 800 athletes.
 
Entries have almost doubled from last year and this year’s race is set to be a cracker. With entries already around the 800 mark, the 5150 Bela Bela Triathlon is set to be the biggest standard distance triathlon ever in South Africa. A staggering 31% of the field are female, which is a significant number for any triathlon event and shows that the number of female triathletes in South Africa is on the rise.
 
Less than one week remains to get your entry in so get online to www.5150.co.za today and be part of the fun and excitement at South Africa’s biggest standard distance triathlon in the breathtaking bushveld setting of Forever Resorts Warmbaths this August.
