The GO SPORT SUPER SERIES for the 2013/14 season is comprised of 13 different multi-sport events which include races such as triathlons, aquathlons, open water swims and road running races. Over 5,000 individuals are expected to participate this season ensuring a competitive yet social event for all.
“Last season we were involved as a co-sponsor for some of the races, but after being at and even competing in a few of the events, GO Sport have decided to step up their sponsorship for this season and are now fully committed to all races as we want to get the community as active, fit and engaged in sport as possible. And this is exactly what these series of races offer! They allow the entire family to participate on the day, they allow corporate groups to enter, individuals can push themselves to the limit and all this in a fun, social and relaxed atmosphere” commented Beryl Kyte, Marketing Manager Al Mana Fashion Group – Sports Division. “Super Sports Events have done a fantastic job over the past three seasons putting on all these races. The number of competitors has quadrupled from their initial season – a testament to their organisation abilities and commitment to offering the community a sporting portal”.
“The 13 different races are divided into individual race series where finishers receive points which accumulate over the individual series to eventually recognise the top athletes per series – be it overall or per age group rankings,” explained Race Series Director, Warren van der Merwe from Super Sports Events. “Age groups range from eight years and under all the way through to 50 years and over so it offers all ages and abilities the opportunity to compete and to try out a new sport/race. We have had many novices who have been apprehensive to try these races, but once they have finished their first race, they are hooked and can see their progress from race to race. Likewise some of the top multi-sport athletes like Olivier Godart, Nicholas Tipper, Svetlana Blazevic and Belinda O’Leary who compete internationally use these races as training to fine tune their abilities to compete overseas. With the support of GO Sport this season, we are looking at a very exciting, competitive and fun filled series of races,” he added.
Athletes who obtain a ranking in two or more of the series on offer, will have their name placed in the lucky draw where one lucky winner will receive and all expenses paid trip to “Adventures in the Alps“ – a training/holiday resort situated in the French Alps (www.adventuresinthealps.com) which includes return economy class airfare to Geneva, Switzerland, airport transfer to and from resort, all training, as shown on the relevant schedule, all training facilities and equipment, accommodation in a private, en-suite room, full board package, including a continental or cooked breakfast, lunch and three-course dinner with beverages, training snacks and drinks, use of spa facilities at the chalet and all local transport.
