Taking place at the picturesque Lievland Wine Estate (Stellenbosch) the weekend of 18 and 19 October 2014, the IMPI Challenge Cape Town #2 has attracted the attention of South Africaââ¬â¢s best trail runners and multi-sport athletes.
Top sports men and women that will be vying for the title of Ultimate Champion will include: Claude Eksteen, Stuart Marais, Andre Calitz, Carla Van Huyssteen, Eddie Lambert, Charl Souma, Christiaan Greyling and Matthew Daneel.
ââ¬ÅI love the IMPI Cape Town course,ââ¬Â says reigning IMPI Elite Race Cape Town champion, Claude Eksteen. ââ¬ÅThe run route is definitely IMPI Cape Townââ¬â¢s unique feature. It is a great off road course with a lot of climbing, which I really enjoy. The vibe is always amazing. The event is family orientated, which makes for a great day outââ¬Â.
ââ¬ÅMy goal at every event is to have a smooth problem free race,ââ¬Â continues Eksteen. ââ¬ÅI know my form is good so if everything falls into place then the result will be good. Iââ¬â¢ve heard that some quality athletes will be competing in Cape Town. I have never been one to be concerned about who is on the start line. I like to focus on myself and what I am doing. I know my shape is good and if that means a good result on the day then that is great. There are always quality athletes gunning for the winââ¬Â.
Top trail runner and XTERRA athlete, Stuart Marais will make his IMPI Elite Race debut in Cape Town. According to Marais, the IMPI Elite Race looks like a massive challenge. ââ¬ÅIââ¬â¢ve heard so many positive reviews. I know that there will be mud, high walls and lots of ropes, that sounds tough to me. Iââ¬â¢m looking forward to challenging myself to the obstacles and then enjoying the IMPI vibe at the finish. Other than being able to run pretty well, I don't believe I have any other strength to fall back on. We will just have to see on race dayââ¬Â.
Awesome Prize: The first Elite male and female competitor to cross the finish line having successfully completed all obstacles will go home with a whopping prize of R10 000.00 each.
