nadesdan Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Someone recently mentioned there will be a new Challenge race (biggest competitor to Ironman) later this year in Cape Town on 10 November. https://challenge-cape-town.com/ Thought people might want to know.
shaper Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 R3k early bird fee and no confirmed course details apart from a cold sea swim?
Shebeen Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 sure I've seen this movie before! https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/101960-challenge-cape-town-2011/?hl=challenge+cape+town
Dirt Tracker Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 sure I've seen this movie before! https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/101960-challenge-cape-town-2011/?hl=challenge+cape+town Just replied on that then saw this.

reteid Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 why is this thread so quite? maybe the lack of comments is showing me not to enter?
Dadbod Racing Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 I was all super hyped up at this event, but the race details took forever to be released so I've decided to do Cape Ultra this year. if Challenge CT is succesful I'll do it next year.
@ndy Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 I'm entered. As a pretty average climber on the bike I chose this over the Cape Ultra or Race 2 Stanford. I hope this one doesn't get canned if the interest is low.
shaper Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Will also wait and see and consider doing next year if it is successful.
Pure Savage Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Could not find a more boring 90km in Cape Town for the bike leg... good luck with that.
dirtypot Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Up and down the same piece of flat road? That is so dull! I'd be keen to try out an event like this, but the route for the ride and the run leaves a lot to be desired, as does a swim at Big Bay. Brrrrr.
_David_ Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 Will also wait and see and consider doing next year if it is successful. +1
reteid Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 entered last night.the point to point sort of racing is normally interesting.Had the same in Scotland a few years back before that was cancelled.I also did Auckland race that was cancelled.I hope this is not a trend for the races which I choose.

Roguemeister Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 So with those waiting to see if it was successful to do it next year, is 325 entries successful? To those who did it, how was it?
