One of South Africa’s top multi-sport events, the BIG5 SPORT CHALLENGE offers some of South Africa’s most spectacular natural scenery – from mountain biking and running in and around Knysna’s famed forests and hills, to swimming its estuary with a view of Heads.
This year the organizers at WorldSport have streamlined the well-received BIG5 SPORT CHALLENGE, building on its success as an enviable bucket list item on the international endurance and adventure race calendar. From 2015 onwards, athletes will take part in five predetermined events and rankings will be done based on cumulative time.
Once again, entrants to the BIG5 SPORT CHALLENGE will enjoy a one-stop registration process, preferred seeding for all five events, and awards ceremonies for each stage and overall, with the leader-board being based on cumulative time.
The 2015 event will have a limited field, with 125 entries.

Salomon Featherbed Trail Run
COELACANTH TRAIL RUN : 15 KM – This is the one to do!
The longer Coelacanth Route will take you along the top of the Western Head where breath taking vistas await; views across to the sheer cliffs of the Eastern Head and out over the Indian Ocean towards Buffalo Bay. Be prepared to be challenged by some hill work as you climb up from sea level to take in the splendour on the ridge line above the Heads. You’ll find well-earned relief on the downhill into Lake Brenton and along the Outeniqua Choo Choo railway bridge to the Finish Line back at the Featherbed Ferry Terminus @ Cruise Cafe.
SEAHORSE TRAIL RUN: 11.0 KM
The shorter Seahorse Route takes a more direct line to the finish, with all its participants being driven to the top of the Western Head by the Featherbed Nature Reserve 4 x 4 truck and seated trailer. This will save your legs the steep, heart pumping, climb from sea level however there is still a fair share of challenging hill work to contend with as you join up with the longer Coelacanth Trail on the ridge line above the Heads. The relief will come as you descend into Lake Brenton and along the Outeniqua Choo Choo railway bridge to the Finish Line back at the Featherbed Ferry Terminus @ Cruise Cafe.
The race will take place on Tuesday 7th July during the Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival. You have the chance to participate in any of the 3 races on offer this year. A MORNING RUN at 07.30am A MIDDAY RUN at 11.30am & AN AFTERNOON RUN at 15.30pm All races start at the Featherbed Ferry Terminus @ Cruise Cafe with the Ferry Trip across the Lagoon, so make sure you arrive early and don’t miss the boat!

MORE ABOUT ENDUROS:
Dirtopia has organised ten Enduro events since 2012 and the focus is on the riding and having fun on the trails.
The concept
Based on the successful Mavic Trans Provence concept the idea is to bring riding and the results linked to it back to mountain biking and away from the current endurance-only formats. That said, it is not the idea to make the race highly technical as per downhill racing, but simply to focus the competition on the trails component of the sport. And yes, perhaps your skinny tire 29’er carbon hardtail is perhaps not the best choice of bike, although the course will certainly be rideable on it!
At the Dirtopia Enduro, you’ll still be climbing and even be timed on some of these sections. We will make most of the jeeptracks and roads ‘neutral’ or ‘liaison’ sections. You will still be required to ride these. The overall descent of the race will be more than the uphill.
Support
Waterpoint with fruit, nuts etc will be placed at a strategic point to assist with rider support. The beauty of the format is that you can relax a bit at this station and catch your breath before tagging into the next Special Stage.

The inaugural IRONMAN 70.3 Portugal is set in Cascais, along the Atlantic Coast.
Come for one reason. Stay for many.
With its mild climate and 3000 hours of sunshine per year, Portugal has always been the perfect destination for family holidays and now these awesome conditions are a part of the IRONMAN 70.3 event series.
Cascais, with more than 650 years of history, is just a 20 minute drive from Lisbon International Airport and is located between Sintra—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—and the Village of Oeiras.
Competitors will take in the best Cascais has to offer, starting with a one loop swim of 1900 meters in front of the Fortaleza da Cidadela, the most spectacular bay in Portugal.
Originating in Cascais, one 90 km loop cycle course runs alongside the Ocean, through to Oeiras and Algés, a fast and flat part of thisbeautiful landscape. The course also covers stunning natural scenery in the Sintra forests, returning to Cascais along the Guincho Beach road "where the land ends and the sea begins."
The two loops of the 21,1 km run course go along the seafront 3 km (Paredão) promenade, the perfect inspiration to finish the race. Running between Cascais, Estoril and S. Pedro, competitors will be cooled by sea breezes and cheered on by spectators from the many restaurants.
Historic houses, palaces, and fortresses of bygone times over one of the most beautiful race courses ever devised for a triathlon. It's sure to be of the most amazing experiences of an athlete's lifetime.
The race will offer 50 qualifying slots for the 2018 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.
