Pro field for 5150 African Championship
Both the men’s and women's fields boast some of the best talent in the country
THE bright lights of South African triathlon will all be assembled at Germiston Lake on November 2 for the Ekurhuleni 5150 African Championship.
Both the men’s and women’s fields boast some of the best talent in the country, with the likes of Henri Schoeman, Wian Sullwald, Andrea Steyn and Kate Roberts headlining the professional field.
Defending champion, Henri Schoeman, is back to mount a title defence.
The 23 year-old represented South Africa at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and was part of the 4 x mixed relay team which won the silver medal.
Boksburg boy, Wikus Weber, will also be in and amongst the front runners having showed real consistency over the past few seasons.
A field of 1 219 athletes from 17 nations will be taking on the 1.5km swim, 40km bike and 10km run on Sunday.
With such a strong professional field on display, the 2014 Ekurhuleni 5150 African Championship should throw up some enticing individual battles on race day.
