Inaugural Discovery Duathlon a great success

The Inaugural Discovery Duathlon, held in Sandton over the weekend of the 24th and 25th October, was a huge success with a great turnout! Fitness enthusiasts, aspiring athletes and novices took to the streets amidst the scorching Johannesburg temperatures, with the aim to complete a RunCycleRun. 

Congratulations to over 2000 athletes for trading their cars for their bicycles and running shoes, and for braving the hilly course through the Sandton CBD. Thank you to Sandton and the surrounding areas for sharing your roads with us. 

Get your bicycles out and running shoes tied in preparation for the next Discovery Duathlon. Discovery looks forward to hosting you next year!
