Official event pageWhat this race demands
This triathlon demands sustained multi-discipline pacing and smooth transitions across a 113.1 km distance.
Multisport transition
Athletes must manage the physiological shift from a surf beach swim to a fast bike leg and finally a two-lap run course.
Aero endurance
The flat and fast bike course rewards sustained aerodynamic positioning and steady power output over a significant portion of the total distance.
Run durability
The two-lap run around the Esplanade requires maintaining form and turnover in the latter stages of a multi-hour endurance effort.
Consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy levels across the multi-hour duration of the event.
