Triathlon Cycle course

The cycle is based around a 20km loop. Within 1km you will hit the BLACK HILLS which have been the highlight of the RAS’s final stage for the last three years. This course has always always been won and lost on the bike, Long may this tradition continue.  Sprint competitors complete a single loop.  Olympic competitors will do two loops of this 20km course. Half-distance competitors will do a single larger lap (along the old N1) before doing three of the 20km loops.  The start and finish will be next to the lifeguards hut on the south beach.
