About this race
The 2026 Joburg Ultra Triathlon is making its return, and for those residing in the highveld, there are absolutely no excuses to miss out. This is your local race! The swim at Cradle Moon offers a refreshing experience (which is a nice way of saying it's a bit chilly but invigorating), the bike course is smooth, fast, and as flat as your uncle’s braai jokes, and the run will have you feeling like a champion with your friends and family cheering you on.
This isn't just any race—it's the triathlon of the year, where highveld athletes demonstrate their resilience against altitude, traffic, and the occasional hailstorm.
And here's the exciting part: this event isn't just for the hardcore athletes who have more lycra than regular clothes—it's for everyone. Whether you choose Sprint, Standard, or Ultra, go solo or as a team, be a pro or a novice, there's a place for you. Plus, your family and friends should join in too, because while supporting is enjoyable, racing is legendary.
The atmosphere is electric, the competition intense, and the memories unforgettable. So gather your crew, pack the cooler box, and come create memories at the Joburg Ultra 2026.
Highveld heroes, this is your moment!
