Joburg Ultra Tri

Our Story

The Joburg Ultra takes place from the popular Cradle Moon resort in the Cradle of Humankind. The event is staged in early December and athletes will experience some exciting routes as well as being spoilt by the race staff and the Series sponsors.

The National Ultra Triathlon Series which started in 2009 has events at Sun City, Cape Town, Durban and now Joburg. This national footprint of the ULTRA Tri-Series gives the series a solid platform to exposure the sport of triathlon to the South African market and to give access to potential athletes and familes to these exciting events. The ULTRA Tri-Series offers two event distances at each race, the Sprint Triathlon being the shorter event, combining a 600m swim, 20km cycle and a 5km run. While the Ultra Triathlon is the same distance as the 70.3 races, combining a 1.9km swim, a 90km cycle and a 21.1km run.

The Series is currently the only National Sprint and Ultra Tri-Series available in South African and is the breeding ground for the up and coming triathlon stars in SA. Each event also gives competitors the opportunity to do the event in either a Team relay format, or individually, which opens the doors for Corporate Teams, Clubs and Families to participate in their favourite discipline.
