Hello, this question has been raised by many individuals, so I am taking the opportunity to post it here: Is it possible to participate in a triathlon as a team of two instead of three? The idea is to complete it as a couple. Many couples within Kaust are interested in this format. In the spirit of Kaust, it would be great to introduce a ranking category for mixed teams (male/female). An age-group classification already exists. Kind regards
