Save the DATES

2nd & 3rd DECEMBER 2023

Going into our 7th year already – the 226 brand is well known amongst multisport sport athletes both locally and internationally.

To ensure we keep the event “fresh” and “exciting” we have made a few tweaks. The 1^st one being moving from Midmar Dam to Durban. The coast has that added lure attraction and the benefits to our entrants of hosting it in Durban is what we are all about – 100% customer satisfaction

Golden Delight will take ownership of the event for the next few years – this will ensure the event grows from strength to strength and we put on a world class event in a world class city

DAY ONE

SATURDAY DEC 2nd

SWIM

We plan to host the swim event down at the Durban Undersea Club (DUC). A nice swim venue – as safe and as “easy” as it gets in Durban. The swim will start at 6am on Saturday the 2^nd DECEMBER and will offer 3 distances to choose from

1km - 2km & 3km

You have the choice of only entering the swim event OR “adding” a run event to your days activities

RUN

We will then have a run after – also starting at the DUC clubhouse at 9am (plenty time to finish off your swim – change into run clothes – eat and drink something and then ready yourself for a run along the beachfront. The run will offer 3 distances

5km - 10km & 20km

Once again this event is open to those that just want to run and be part of the Golden Delight Brick Challenge. Those keen for a little more action can swim and then run after. Your choice entirely – swim only – run only or do both the swim and the run

The SWIM/RUN Combo will then conclude with a breakfast down at the DUC clubhouse. The DUC precinct is an ideal venue to bring the family too and enjoy a beach day out. This event is all about family – friends and having fun.

Yes there is an element of competiveness but the majority of contestants come to enjoy themselves along with family and friends

DAY TWO

SUNDAY DEC 3rd

BIKE

We are excited to bring you the Golden Delight Cycle Challenge event taking place on Sunday the 3^rd DEC starting nearby the Moses Mabhida Stadium. What is exciting for us is that we are going to ride the M4 out towards the La Lucia district and back. The lap will be

20km long (out 10km – back 10km) and cyclists will be able to contest 1 lap (20km) 2 laps (40km) or 4 laps (80km)

Entrants just wanting to ride will enter the cycle only race can do so while those that contested Day 1 (swim and run or both) can compete in the 3rd “leg” which is the cycle event and earn their special TRI-BRICK CHALLENGE MEDAL for having competed and finished all 3 legs of the Golden Delight Brick Challenge

To add something different – this cycle challenge event will be open to

Teams only

Teams of 2 – 4 or 8 members will ride together in tandem/team format along the M4 with full road closure. To ensure the safety of the cyclists and enhance the riders experience – the team format is the way to go.

All entrants will get a goodie bag and other items that make the BRICK CHALLENGE what it has always been known to deliver and that is excellent return on your entry fee vs what you get back in return. All cyclists will get their special Golden Delight Cycle Challenge Medal
