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 point-to-point triathlon inspires dreams, create goals and will change view on what you, as an athlete, are able to achieve - forever.
NEW ROUTE FOR 2026
The initial 2026 route has been revised due to storm damage and ongoing road repairs affecting sections of the original course.
Triathletes begin with a 5km swim in the Knysna Estuary, followed by a 176km cycle route that winds predominantly along the spectacular Garden Route coastline, offering sweeping ocean views and a demanding day in the saddle. The race finishes with a challenging 52km run featuring winding mountain gravel roads before finishing deep within the Knysna Forest. The route is as tough as it is stunning, that will push you to your limits physically, mentally, and emotionally – from start to finish.
