This awaits the courageous athletes who will undertake swimming, cycling and running to great lengths. The swim is 3.8 km, while the bike session is a three-loop 180km race to be topped off with a run of 42.195 km.
However, all the action won’t end with the final crawlers on Sunday because there are still two Half Ironmans set to unfold. The Durban 70.3 is set for 1 July, while the Mossel Bay 70.3 is penciled in for 16 November!
