The Unogwaja Challenge was due to take place from 2 – 13 June 2020 where a team of cyclists would be cycling from Cape Town to Pietermaritzburg (+-1700kms)… followed by the Comrades Marathon on the 14th of June. While Comrades has been cancelled, the team is hard at work getting new dates and going about preparing for 2021. In the meantime though, there are still people relying on us and the funds that we need to raise! (All funds go towards education and social development projects in South Africa, as well as assisting those who have been affected by Covid-19). Join us on Saturday, 13 June for the Unogwaja Challenge Charity Virtual AdventureRun! This is not just for those strong, long distance runners – this is for your family and friends who wish they could also do something as great as Comrades but may not be able to. You choose your pace and distance. Enter now and challenge your friends and family to do the same! Who knows… we may even see some novices on the Comrades Marathon start line in 2021! Enter at: www.adventurerun.co.za
No matter where you are in South Africa or the World – everyone is invited to participate! The joys of our new virtual world!
Routes
4 Routes to choose from:
42 Km
The 42km Marathon distance is not for the faint-hearted. It’s technical and challenging which makes this distance a perfect final training run for runners who are training for the Sky Run 2019. The route features technical climbs and steeply descends, Forrest sections and beautiful open savannah stretches.
23 Km
The race features extra river frontage, multiple forests and rocky sections. The route winds away from the lake in the direction of Beyers Naude Drive, before heading back down to the new “Spookhuis” section.
14 Km
Fast-flowing tracks early into the route serve as the perfect way to get the blood pumping. This is the base route around the lodge with the best views of the cradle of humankind. Look out for Giraffe and zebra on the trail.
6 Km
Non-Technical being for those who want an easier ride. This is the perfect outing for the entire family to enjoy without having to break a sweat.
