Super League Triathlon Neom 2023 » Super League Triathlon

Super League Triathlon is returning to NEOM for what is sure to be a thrilling Grand Finale to the 2023 Championship Series. Taking the ‘Enduro’ format, the best triathletes in the business will battle it out across three gruelling stages of swim, bike and run in a truly spectacular setting.
NEOM will see the culmination of four all out, explosive triathlon races across the world, as the the athletes make one final bid for glory and a share of the prize pot.

Last year it was Matthew Hauser who took the win in this unique desert setting, with triathlon veteran Jonny Brownlee showing his eternal class to finish in second, while Georgia Taylor-Brown put on one final display of dominance in the ladies race.

However, this year sees the return of two-time Super League Triathlon Champion Vincent Luis, can he come back from a year of injury to make it lucky number 3?

Who will take over from Georgia Taylor-Brown?

And which Team will end up on top after Bahrain’s last gasp heroics in 2022 saw them lift the trophy by just two points?

Enduro

Master of Endurance

The Enduro is considered the most brutal format of all. Requiring endurance and tactics, the Enduro is a non-stop burst of nine back-to-back triathlon disciplines without any breaks. The easiest way to think about it is swim-bike-run repeated continuously three times in a row, or over three Stages.

A focus on speed is a key demand of the Enduro because any athlete who falls more than 90 seconds behind the leader will be eliminated.

There are three Short Chutes up for grabs – for the first athlete across the Mount Line after the swim on Stage 1, for the first athlete across the Mount Line after the bike on Stage 1 and for the first athlete across the Mount Line at the end of Stage 1.Short Chutes are won for a Team and awarded to an athlete during the race by their Team Manager. Short Chutes are to be taken on the first lap of the run in Stage 3. No team can win more than one Short Chute.
