What is this Extreme Road Challenge about?
The Challenge is about a group of Cyclist's racing a team of long distance runners, from Johannesburg to Pietermaritzburg. There will be five runners in each relay team taking turns to reach their Pietermaritzburg destination whilst hoping to arrive ahead of the rival cyclists.
The rules are simple; the cyclists can only ride during daylight hours, but the runners can run non-stop through the night.
