Saturday will be a test of pure endurance for all racers taking part – with the female and male Junior and Youth Enduros kick-starting Day 1, followed by the Corporate Team Enduro.

For visitors wanting the first glimpse of their sporting heroes such as Vincent Luis, Jonny Brownlee and Katie Zaferes, the Pro female and male Enduro Heats will take place in the afternoon (swim-bike-run x 2), where the athletes will be split into two different groups. The top eight athletes from these two groups will automatically qualify for Day 2 along with the next two fastest athletes across both heats.

The Sunday Day 2 final will be SLT’s unique Equalizer format with an individual time trial setting up a pursuit style start for an epic battle of swim-bike-run-swim-bike-run, with prize money and those valuable Championship Series points up for grabs.

SLT has once again teamed up with the Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) to deliver the fan-focussed event. Konrad Mizzi, Malta’s Minister for Tourism, said:

“Following last year’s success, we are delighted to support this season’s Super League. Triathlon and SLT are growing in popularity and we are thrilled to bring to Malta the world’s best athletes. This will complement a year full of events, which has brought several world-class brands and artists to the island.”

The Parliamentary Secretary for Youths, Sport and Voluntary Organisations, Clifton Grima, added:

“The presence of world-renowned athletes in Malta shows that sport is not only physically beneficial but also socially important. Our country has the necessary ingredients to host such high-level events, including a good standard of accommodation, good weather all year round, state-of-the-art facilities and a fantastic atmosphere.”
