The SLC Tri Challenge
Sponsors
Following the death of Wik van der Walt in 2012 during a mountain bike race, the staff of Stanford Lake College wanted to celebrate the life of their colleague and friend by hosting an off-road triathlon - the first ever in Limpopo. The race is now the only Triathlon South Africa sanctioned race in the province. After the huge success of the inaugural race in 2013, The Wik Off-road Triathlon expanded in 2014, with the addition of a longer race for the more serious athletes and Ironman hopefuls. The event is now a must do for beginners and fast becoming so for seasoned athletes. The friendly family orientated vibe makes everyone feel welcome.
