Pistorius, 38, was freed from jail in January 2024 after completing more than half his sentence and is on parole until his sentence expires in 2029.
Singabakho Nxumalo, spokesman for South Africa's Department of Correctional Services, said Pistorius had approval to attend the race, the Ironman 70.3 Durban.

He said: "This forms part of his rehabilitation into society.
