Now here’s a fun event that I heard about today. Virgin Active is organising an indoor triathlon competition, which will take place at participating Virgin Active clubs on 3 and 4 October 2009. The event is open to Virgin Active members and non-members.

You can enter into one of six available categories:
- Individual, Team, 50+ and Group/Corporate: These categories all consist of a 2km run, 5km cycle and 125m swim.
- Die Hard and Elite: These two categories consist of a 4km run, 10km cycle and 250m swim.
There’s an option for everyone, whether you’re just looking for a fun event to participate in as an individual or a team or you’re a little more serious and you’re looking to compete against other like-minded athletes.
I’ve listed some important details on the event below:
- The event is limited to approximately 20 000 participants.
- Participants must be 14 years of age and older.
- You have three choices of which Virgin Active club you’d prefer to participate at.
- Entries close on 25 September 2009.
- If your registration is successful you’ll be emailed on Tuesday 29 September 2009 confirming your participation, date of participation, club of participation and time of registration.
- All participants must bring a water bottle, towel and swimming cap.
It sounds like good fun and something different to do at gym. Have fun and enjoy it.

Hi
I would like to enter a three man team into the Die hard category-one of us runs, the other cycles and one of us swims-like a tag team event.
Is this possible, and if so, how do I enter all three of us?
Hi Glen,
Thanks for your message. Give the Virgin Active Indoor Triathlon Call Centre a shout on 021 426 1728. They should be able to answer your question.
Thanks and best regards,
Adrian
Can we still enter the triathlon?
Hi Wynand,
Give the Triathlon Call Centre a shout on 021 426 1728 to see if you can still sneak into the event.
Cheers,
Adrian
