About M.A.D. Multisport
M.A.D. is an acronym for Mike, Ann & Dominique.
The Moriarty family was based in Boksburg on the East Rand in Gauteng where the triathlon coaching business began in 2003.
Mike realised there was a need for training support when preparing for his first full Ironman. M.A.D. MultiSport began assisting athletes preparing for all distances, from mini to the Extreme Series tri’s.
Today, the club has expanded operations to Cape Town and offers its professional and friendly coaching service to all ages and levels of athletes – leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of tomorrow.
Our History
Rooted in Mike’s early experiences as a sports educator and athlete, M.A.D. Multisport grew from more than just a coaching need – it grew from a lifelong passion for sport and community. Mike’s time as a rugby coach and sports master shaped the club’s no-fuss, people-first approach, which remains central to the way M.A.D. operates today.
As the club expanded, so too has Mike’s offering, adding guided cycle tours across South Africa as a way to share the joy of movement beyond competition. These non-competitive, scenic rides reflect the same values at the heart of the club: support, simplicity, and a love of the journey.
“Mike’s guidance goes beyond training schedules – it’s about mindset, balance and pushing limits while staying grounded.”
