Who We Are
VirtualTri is South Africa’s first dedicated virtual triathlon league.
We were created to meet the needs of busy professionals, beginner athletes, and experienced triathletes looking for flexible, competitive, and community-driven racing options — no matter where they are.
We bring triathlon to you.
Whether you swim in your gym pool, ride on your indoor trainer, or run your local streets, you can compete in structured events, earn medals, track your XP, and be part of something bigger.
Our Mission
To grow and modernize the sport of triathlon in South Africa.
We believe triathlon should be accessible, inclusive, and sustainable.
Our mission is to break down barriers to participation — cost, travel, fear of competition — and build a virtual league that welcomes everyone from first-timers to Ironman finishers.
TRI TOGETHER. ANYWHERE
To become the leading virtual triathlon platform in South Africa
To support athletes with structure, flexibility, and recognition
To complement existing triathlon clubs and federations
To use technology to connect real people with real goals
To help people Tri Together. Anywhere.
Our Vision
Why It Matters
Traditional triathlon events are powerful, but they aren’t always practical.
Long travel, time away from family, and high costs can prevent participation — especially for new or underrepresented athletes.
VirtualTri is designed to keep the sport alive and growing — one weekend, one event, one athlete at a time.
We don’t replace traditional races.
We help you train for them, stay engaged, and compete consistently all year round.
Meet the Founder
VirtualTri was created by a South African doctor, coach, and athlete who understands the challenges of balancing life, work, and training.
With a passion for prevention, performance, and participation, she launched this league to empower others to pursue health through community-based sport — virtually and in real life.
✔️ INTEGRITY – We race with honesty and respect the sport.
✔️ INCLUSION – We welcome all fitness levels, backgrounds, and goals.
✔️ PROGRESS – We focus on effort, consistency, and improvement.
✔️ SUPPORT – We’re stronger as a team. Every athlete matters.
Our Values
Our Commitment to Growth
We are in active conversation with Triathlon South Africa (TSA) to explore endorsement or affiliation options.
Our goal is to support the sport nationally and expand access — virtually and physically — while upholding the standards of triathlon governance.
