National Duathlon Championships & Selection

The 2017 SA Duathlon and LD Duathlon Championships will be hosted by KZN Triathlon on the 2nd of July 2017 at the Midmar Resort.

Please download the full event details from the Triathlon SA news page.
 
Due to the earlier dates and entry closure date for Duathlon World Championships, the 2017 SA Champs will be too late to use for selection for 2017 World Champs.  Triathlon SA has requested that national team selectors use results from the events below to select the team for 2017 Duathlon Worlds:
 
1.            The 2016 Provincial / Regional Duathlon Championship results (Durbanville, April 2016).  
2.            The 2017 SA National Triathlon Championships (Alldam, March 2017).
3.            The 2016 Duathlon World Championships  (Spain, June 2016).

In addition, Duathletes can apply for a slot in the Provincial and / or National teams through credible results obtained during the past 24 months.  As the Province must submit the list to the TSA Office by 28 April 2017, we need to receive applications from athletes by 17:00 on 25 April 2017.
.
Western Cape Duathletes wishing to participate at 2017 Nationals or Worlds must therefore apply for selection at the link below:
 
The 2017 SA Duathlon Championships will also be the selection event for the 2018 World Duathlon Championships, taking place in Denmark, early July 2018.

The 2017 SA LD Duathlon Championships will be the selection event for the 2017 LD Duathlon World Championships, taking place in Zofingen, Switzerland, in September 2017.

Duathlon Worlds & Selection

The 2017 Duathlon World Championships forms part of the 2017 ITU Multi-sport World Championships festival in Penticton, Canada, taking place from 18 to 27 August 2017.   Athlete entries close at the end of April, hence the urgency to get applications from interested Duathletes (see link to apply under SA Champs).

The 2017 LD Duathlon World Championships, will take place in Zofingen, Switzerland, on 3 September 2017.  Selection for this event is the 2017 SA LD Champs.

The 2018 World Duathlon Championships, will form part of the 2018 ITU Multi-sport World Championships festival, taking place in Fyn, Denmark, early in July 2018.  The results for the 2017 SA Duathlon Champs will be the sole selection criteria for the National team to race at this event.
