Mr Price Foundation launches new challenge

The Mr Price Foundation has launched a brand new event, The Mr Price Foundation Challenge, in partnership with the Comrades Marathon Association.

The event will take place on December 5 and 6. The virtual fund-raising event will be open to participants of all ages and fitness levels to cycle or run to raise funds and awareness for the foundation.

The exciting announcement of the fundraiser’s new partner, the Comrades Marathon Association, has brought a new element to the event, which was previously a 606km cycle ride from Secunda to Durban.

Now, both sporting enthusiasts and ordinary people have an opportunity to cycle or run in a virtual challenge, opening up the ‘field’ to participants from across the globe.

For cyclists, the 11th edition of the epic fund-raising event will have a wide variety of options for both amateur and professional cyclists, with distances ranging from 10km, 45km, 90km, 303km and 606km.

Historically, the event was only open to less than 100 elite cyclists but this edition presents the possibility of thousands of cyclists of all ages from around the world to participate.

The challenge also offers runners the opportunity to complete 3km, 7km or 21km, making it a fun family event. Participants can opt to do both the run and the ride.

“We are pleased to be involved with the Mr Price Foundation Challenge. Its decade-long history and social upliftment footprint is worth celebrating. As the Comrades Marathon Association, we look forward to doing more great things with the foundation and to further our contribution to the social and environmental landscape through such admirable initiatives,” said Comrades Marathon Association GM Keletso Totlhanyo.
