The top athletes typically finish in a little over eight hours while the back-markers are allowed 17 hours, which means a finish late into Sunday night. There are around 2,000 participants.
SuperSport’s production will utilise ten cameras, including one on a jet-ski for the swim leg and two on two helicopters.
Although coverage will be continuous on Channel 199, SuperSport 7 will cross to Port Elizabeth for the finish featuring the elite triathletes.
Channel 199 will be utilised again next weekend for US Masters golf coverage. The main feed will be broadcast on SS1, but an additional feed supplied by Masters organisers will be carried on the overflow channel.
