“It is a beautiful day; we feel so blessed with such wonderful weather. We have a long relationship with Steyn City building this triathlon and this is the third year. We started it because we wanted to create more opportunities for triathlon athletes in Gauteng. Because Steyn City has the amenities and facilities to host something like this, it is the perfect fit for us. We have been very blessed to extend this event to more than just a pro over the years we have added half the distances to it. So, it has become more like a family event, teams can enter, and people who specialise in swimming and running can do a leg of the race and enter as a team. It is a lovely event,” said the head of marketing of Auto and General, Johanni Jennings.

Khushboo Parbhoo and Dan Jay are cheerleaders of their friends.

Media personalities Thando Thabethe and Matt Flax join in the race.
