The annual Cableway Charity Challenge gets underway this weekend. Professional athletes and less experienced enthusiasts will compete to walk to the top of Table Mountain as many times as they can over the course of nine days.
The JDI Foundation is organising this year’s Cableway Charity Challenge with the help of the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company.
Each day, athletes will have from sunrise to sunset to hike up to the top of Platteklip Gorge before taking the cable car back down to begin the ascent again.A special race day is held as part of the challenge week, with corporate and school teams tackling the gorge.‘This is the 14th edition of the Cableway Challenge. The first event in 2009 had 50 runners help raise around half a million rand.
‘We had already received pledges of more than R600 000 with less than a week to go to the event. It looks like the 2023 Cableway Challenge will be a huge success thanks to the wonderful runners and hikers who keep showing their support,’ says Le Roux.
