Challenge Cape Town is the newest addition to the Challenge Family international triathlon series. The organiser add that the race will ‘welcome athletes from all over the world to experience racing in a truly unique setting.’

Located right in front of the iconic Table Mountain the event will offer ‘breath-taking scenic views and a vivid atmosphere around the historical sites of Cape Town’ on November 9-11, 2019.

The middle-distance race will provide athletes with a challenging swim course in the Atlantic Ocean, a flat and fast bike course along the coastline and a view of the Table Mountain on the way back to transition. Finishing off the race, the run course will be ‘fast and with minimal elevation featuring scenic views on the city, the mountains and the coastline’.

“Challenge Cape Town is going to be a one in a million race,”, says Katy Knight, Race Director of Challenge Cape Town. “With an ideal location surrounded with incredible views and dripping in history, the venue will be one that will not be forgotten.”

Challenge Family CEO Zibi Szlufcik added, “With today´s announcement of Challenge Cape Town our dream comes true, and Challenge Family arrives on the African continent. This spectacular race venue and region will host athletes from all over the world in November to experience the local hospitality and beauty of this truly unique race course.

“Numerous side events cumulate with an Endurance Festival which will contribute to the healthy lifestyle of the local community. [This] reflects the inclusive approach of Challenge Family. I’m personally looking forward to welcome the athletes at Challenge Cape Town and see you at the finish line.”
