An adrenalin charged affair that combines trail running, obstacles, mud and fun, the IMPI Challenge is an action packed race that caters for athletes of all fitness levels, families and kids, as well as beginners looking for an unforgettable experience.
Launched in 2009, IMPI was South Africa’s first obstacle course race and was designed to be a tough yet fun adventure, where attendees are encouraged to go beyond their limitations, as individuals or in teams, while still letting their silly side show. Each event is exclusively designed to incorporate each venue’s natural terrain when it comes to obstacles, which may include running exciting single track trails up a hill, getting across a river or jumping into a mud pit… you’ll have to come and see what lies ahead! The event includes a best dressed competition to highlight the fun that is IMPI, so get creative and expressive and arrive in a tutu, funky t-shirt or a crazy outfit for a chance to win great prizes.
Attendees can also get involved with charities just by taking part in the IMPI Challenge. At every race, athletes can leave behind their muddy takkies which will be donated to the less fortunate and can choose to donate a figure of their choice when entering to the following organisations:
– National Sea Rescue Institute
– CANSA Active
– Woodside Special Care Centre
– Prochorus Community Development
– SPCA
