Organisers are expecting around 200 competitors to Saturday’s events and up to 800 on Sunday.

The multisport event was founded by the late Sid James, a former triathlete, and is now named in his honour.

Business Victor Harbor says the event brings an influx of visitors to the town, who are encouraged to eat and shop with local businesses.

Last year’s event caused major traffic disruption, with Victor Harbor Mayor Moira Jenkins apologising to Encounter Bay residents and businesses for the lengthy delays and promising to work with organisers to ensure it doesn't happen again.

The City of Victor Harbor has warned that resident access to and from properties will be for emergencies only. 

It will be facilitated by traffic controllers on the day and drivers should expect delays. 

Full details of the event can be found on the organisers’ website.
