Super League Series definitely sounds like a superhero league, and while it’s not exactly that, it might as well be. The triathlon championship brings together some of the best names in the sport… and it’ll be coming to Malta later this year!

Following reports that the directors had been in talks with local authorities last year, the 2018 Super League Series will be travelling Malta later this year.

A triathlon championship series which is currently underway in Poznan, Poland the Super League Series will be hosting the second round two of this asthma-inducing race right on our island between the 27th and the 28th October.

Times of Malta reported that the race in Malta will be part of the Championship Series where the Eliminator tests will be taking place on Saturday.

The Eliminator tests are done in order to test the athletes when it comes to timing, stamina, speed and endurance. All the competitors have to finish high enough in order not to be eliminated from the Equalizer test which will be taking place on Sunday at Vittoriosa.

The Equalizer, on the other hand, will involve a gruelling swim, a run, another swim, a cycling challenge and another run. Even reading that makes us tired.

Sadly, no Maltese athletes will be competing this year, but the organisers are hoping that in time, they’ll also be able to work with the local athlete community.

“Presently, we are in discussions to stay in Malta as long as the support is given and we have been told that this support will be long term,” Chris McCormack, co-founder and vice chairman at the Super League Triathlon told the Times of Malta. “This event will be the biggest multisport and fitness festival in southern Europe.”
