Looking ahead to Ironman South Africa
New champions to be crowned on Sunday April 14.
Last year, Spain’s Clemente Alonso-McKernan and Natascha Badmann (SUI) came out on top at Ironman South Africa.
At this year’s 9th edition of the race, neither will be back to defend their titles but there are a bunch of top pros ready to take possession of top step of the podium on Sunday April 14.
This year, age groupers received the added bonus of increased Kona qualifying slots (from 30 to 50).
