What is the Eliminator?
The Eliminator is the first-ever format raced in Super League. It tests the resilience, stamina and velocity of the athletes in a pressure-cooker environment where field position proves key over timing. There are three rounds of swim-bike-run with a short break in between each for the athletes to reset their equipment.
What is SLT Teams?
SLT Teams is a new team franchise concept, designed to add new racing dynamics, and handing power to athletes, fans and stakeholders to help shape the future of the sport.
