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.
The littlest Duathletes took over the streets of Sandton today, Saturday 24 October as they participated in the inaugural Kids Discovery Duathlon with Disney. Kids as young as 5 years old ran, cycled, and ran again as many of them competed in their first race. Kids were treated to a magical race through their favourite Disney landscapes, including Frozen and Finding Nemo.
Gauteng is gearing up for the first multisport event to be hosted in the heart of Sandton. Located just outside the Discovery offices in Sandton, the Duathlon has taken shape as the race village, expo centre and athletes’ transition area are prepared and ready.
Today the foyer of the JSE was host to a unique executive RUN-CYCLE-RUN challenge marking the launch of the Discovery Duathlon Sandton scheduled for October later this year. In an effort to make people healthier whilst enhancing and protecting their lives, Discovery have partnered with the City of Johannesburg in support of the EcoMobility World Festival to be held over the month of October.
