Ready to take on the Half Distance Durban Triathlon? This stunning coastal race starts with a 1.9 km (1.2 mile) anti-clockwise swim at the iconic uShaka Beach, where the warm 72°F (22°C) Indian Ocean welcomes you. From there, tackle a fast, two-loop 90 km (56 mile) bike course on the scenic M4 highway—undulating, exhilarating, and perfect for seasoned legs. Finish with a 21.1 km (13.1 mile) run along the Durban Promenade—flat, fast, and framed by ocean views.
