KNYSNA EXTREME TRIATHLON

No Sugar Coating | No Hand Holding | No Fanfare

Triathlon in its purest form

The Knysna Extreme Triathlon is a truly unique and unforgettable experience. This demanding point-to-point triathlon takes place along South Africa's breath-taking Garden Route.

Triathletes begin with a 5km swim in the Knysna Estuary, followed by a 174km bike route that takes them through diverse landscapes of coastline, mountains, and semi-desert regions. The final discipline is a challenging 50km run with windy mountain passes, lush plantations and finishing through the dense Knysna forest. The route is as tough as it is stunning, pushing athletes to their limits physically, mentally, and emotionally – from start to finish.

Every triathlete must have a dedicated supporter to accompany them throughout the race, providing essential mechanical, nutritional, and emotional assistance but also to share their triathlete’s incredible journey.
