SUMMARY:Uphill Challenge 2021
DESCRIPTION:On 20 March 2021\, it will be just about one year since lockdown was announced. \nOur mission with the Uphill Challenge is to create awareness and exhibit tour operators\, wheel operators and event organisers who all promote our country and beautiful destinations\, but due to a challenging year\, had no income. We want to educate locals and change their mindset to rather use inbound operators to help them plan their holidays\, this will create jobs/income during these tough times. \nParticipants will run/walk uphill for 8.5km to Paarl Rock (this is the official challenge part of the event) and then hike back down for 5km to the Taal Monument\, where they will finish and receive a medal. \nParticipants who are slightly less fit and do not want to do the 5km hike downhill\, can catch a lift back to the Taalmonument from Krismis Camp with one of our tour operators\, but this will only happen after the last participant has arrived. \nRegister \nThis event is supported by the SA Events Council.
