Entries are now open for ITU World Triathlon Cape Town 2014, set to become the first WTS race on African soil.

The event will take place at the V&A Waterfront on 26-27 April, and will include both sprint-distance (500m swim/20km bike/5km run) and Olympic-distance (1.5km/40km/10km) races.

Cape Town is one of two cities to debut on the WTS calendar in 2014 (Chicago being the other), and will serve as the second stop on the series' eight-city tour, which kicks off in Auckland on 5 April, 2014.
