KNYSNA EXTREME 0.5
The Knysna Extreme 0.5 is a shorter alternative to the Knysna Extreme Triathlon, serving as an introduction to the world of extreme triathlons. Although shorter, the Extreme 0.5 presents its own unique challenges. With an altitude gain of nearly 1,700 meters over a total distance of 132.5 kilometers, the Knysna Extreme 0.5 offers an exciting challenge for athletes.
The course begins with a 2.5-kilometer swim in the Knysna Estuary, followed by a 100-kilometer cycle through the Garden Route. The 30-kilometer run takes participants into the Knysna forest, culminating at the finish line at Diepwalle Forest Station.
It is not mandatory for Knysna Extreme 0.5 athletes to have a supporter accompanying them throughout the race. However, supporters are more than welcome to be part of the journey. Athletes are permitted to have a supporter follow them during the cycling leg (via vehicle) or assist them during the running leg—on foot, mountain bike, or vehicle.
