Looking for Adventure? Enter the Spur Adventure Charity Challenge
If your idea of fun is navigating your way through nature on foot and bicycle and getting wet in the process, then make sure you enter the Spur Adventure Charity Challenge that takes place in Gauteng, the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal during March and April 2010.
The Adventure Challenge consists of a 20km mountain bike trail ride (two 10km loops) and 5km trail (two 2.5km loops) dash through nature with natural obstacles and water crossings. Teams can participate in the long or short courses and for the less energetically inclined there’s a scenic 6-7km circular route nature hike.
A bush baby trail has been developed specifically for kids between the ages of 6-10years and kicks off with a ‘sak resies’ (bag race). Children are then guided along a marked trail on foot, negotiating a number of obstacles and surprises along the way that include live demonstrations and chats on birds, snakes and other flora and fauna.
Spur Adventure ambassador and seven-time Dusi Marathon winner, Martin Dreyer is also participating in the event and encouraging everyone to join him as all proceeds from the challenge go to Joint Aid Management (JAM), a charity that works to feed less fortunate children across South Africa.
According Group Managing Director Pierre van Tonder the Spur Adventure Charity Challenge is an outdoor experience for the whole family. “Spur Adventure is a celebration of all things South African, an event that makes the most of our great weather, our scenic surrounds and the simple pleasure of spending time with family and friends.”
