So it’s nearly time for 11global to hit South Africa again. Sun City sees the 11global Racing League, an international triathlon series, on the first of November.

11global Sun City is a hot and hilly affair, arguably one of Africa’s toughest Olympic distance triathlons.

There is however a common misconception amongst the South African public that 11global is for elite athletes. Offering age-group and relay team racing this is certainly not the case. If you can’t make the full thing get some mates to join you in an international racing experience.

11global’s mission: “To provide an annual Olympic-distance triathlon Racing League across the globe that will culminate in individual age-group and relay team league champions. We strive to ignite the Olympic-distance racing experience by carefully designing and planning each race in locations with superb landscape and environmental conditions to ultimately deliver the best racing experience to you, the triathlete.”

11global is developing a global olympic-distance triathlon series with the aim of hosting 11 races annually. Unfortunately, expanding the series beyond South Africa has proven to be difficult in this current economic climate however 11global is committed to expanding and is hard at work to develop the series.

11global has 2 events in South Africa, Sun City as you well know and Cape Town. 11global Cape Town is a real racers course offering a flat and fast bike and run.

The swim however is a little on the tough side. Bracing yourself for nothing warmer than a 15 degree Celsius swim and quite possibly a fair bit of Atlantic Ocean swell the swim leg is challenging but definitely a lot of fun.

11global is also quite involved in doing a fair bit of charity work in South Africa with their South African Goggle Drive.

Founder of 11Global had this to say shortly after 11Global Cape Town earlier this year:

“With the 11Global Cape Town triathlon now behind us please take a moment to join Amy Kloner and 11global as we look to the future and help an amazing group of children from the Atlantis Community. In conjunction with the City of Cape Town and Western Province Triathlon, 11global assisted by the expertise of Woody (Alun Woodward), Amy, Hendrick De Villiers and Nico Sterk conducted a triathlon swim clinic at the Westfleur Sports Complex.

Amy was so impressed with the courage and determination of the children but noticed that very few had the swimming basics such as goggles, caps and swim suits. Amy has decided that she wants to try and change this and together we have started a “South African Goggle Drive”. Amy has posted the drive to her blog page and has also reached out to the USA triathlon community for assistance.

On behalf of 11global I am thrilled to be part of this drive and ask you to consider joining us by making a financial contribution. All financial donations will be matched by 11global and will be used to purchase swimming equipment. International readers or triathletes please contact me (ryan@11global.com) if you would like to donate any equipment.

On behalf of Amy and 11global I would like to thank you for your consideration to join us as we look forward to impact the lives of children much less fortunate than ourselves.

Kind Regards,
Ryan
11global”
