ADVERTORIAL
If triathlon and off-road triathlon had a baby, it would be called TriTanium... 6 disciplines over 3 days makes
TriTanium the first multi-discipline, multiday event to hit South African shores. Whether you’re a roadie or a
MTBer, a trail runner or a road runner, a sea swimmer or a fresh water swimmer, TriTanium has a challenge for
you. The only question is… ARE YOU TOUGH ENOUGH?
T
riTanium is something new, something different, something to shake up the usual routine, with a three-
day stage race that takes place from 1-3 November in beautiful Ballito, in KwaZulu-Natal.
The trail master at Holla Trails, Jasper van Vessem, has created brand new trails just for TriTanium and they
are absolutely gorgeous, featuring challenging single track, wide sugar cane lanes and river crossings. The
road ride offers breathtaking views over emerald hills and vales, sweeping turns, and heart-pounding climbs
and descents. The running trails are also brand new and take you through verdant forests and fields, while
the road run is fast and furious, starting with the scent of the sea in Durban and ending on the soft sands of
Umhlanga. The inland swim offers calm, warm dam waters creating a welcoming environment, and you’ll be
happy to know that the sea swim is also warm thanks to the Indian Ocean at its best.
Days 1 and 2 take place at Sugar Rush, Holla Trails, Ballito, while day 3 goes down at Addington Beach,
Durban Beachfront. It doesn’t get more varied, more exciting or more challenging than this!
But this weekend isn’t only about the athletes, it’s about
friends and family, too. TriTanium has made sure that
everyone can join in the jol, spending an awesome
weekend out and about. On days 1 and 2, supporters
and spectators can enjoy the numerous attractions at
Sugar Rush Park, including a kids’ MTB track, TUWA
Beauty Bar, Putt Putt, Laser Tag, Trampoline Park
and so much more. Then on day 3, they can enjoy the
beaches between Durbs and Umhlanga, whether they
choose to wave you off on Addington Beach, or cheer
you over the line in Umhlanga. So, tell your buddies to
pack their towels, cozzies, sunblock and six packs, and
come support you.
