Jenson Button will be among 800 competitors lining up for the next week’s City of Rockingham Triathlon in Western Australia.
Organisers have confirmed the participation of the 2009 Formula 1 World champion, who will compete alongside his girlfriend, Japanese model Jessica Michibata.
The course consists of a 750m swim, 20km cycle and 5km run and according to organisers, Button competes in triathlons as part of his off-season fitness regime.
“Some people use Formula 1’s winter season as a time to wind down, but I love to compete,” said Button who has competed in the London Triathlon for the past two years.
“So it’s fantastic to be able to stay competitive while also working on my fitness by taking part in the Rockingham Triathlon.”
The City of Rockingham Triathlon takes place on Sunday, 19 December 19.
