Welcome

Welcome to the 2nd Annual – 2027 White Continent TriathlonTM!

  • Organizer: Marathon Adventures is happy to be the first, only, and pioneer in this arena.
  • Event Limit: This event will be hosted in conjunction with our White Continent 50k, Marathon & Half-Marathon®. The Triathlon will be limited to 20 Triathletes.

  • Pre-Marathon Comfort: You don’t need to be concerned with being sick the day prior to running the marathon, as you might if you were to boat across The Fiery Drake.
