Race2Hermanus Triathlon Support

Our Sports Development coaches and senior canoeists stepped up as marshals at the Race2Hermanus Triathlon on 11 May 2024. It was an excellent opportunity to contribute to a local high-performance sports event, witnessing the inspiration of sporting excellence across open water swimming, cycling, and running. Plus, it allowed us to shine a spotlight on the Grootbos Foundation's sports programme.

The organisers expressed their gratitude and admiration for our ambassador marshals, and we extend a heartfelt thank you to the triathlon sponsor, SEESA, for their generous donation to our ongoing sports development programme.

Thank you, SEESA and Race2Hermanus, for your unwavering support! Your contribution directly benefits our sports development programme for local children and teenagers, ensuring a brighter future through sports.
