WHY?

A question often asked, why put yourself through such pain, agony, physical and emotional trauma? Why?

Because we can, the challenge is there, there are few opportunities which make you feel as alive! To take part in such an amazing event together as a team, which winds its way through some of the most beautiful parts of the world!

The pain and agony is only temporary (weakness leaving the body) but the impact on ones character, the friendships made and memories are irreplaceable and some thing which will mould who you are!

Times of suffering are opportunities to grow!

We all have our own personal reasons but for the 1000 participants, a high percentage who have been through it all before feel that the bruises, soar butts, mental stress isn’t enough to prevent them from taking up the challenge again!

There are few circumstances when you are pushed to such extremes! Both mentally and physically. When your body has had enough, your legs are burning, your energy supplies are depleted, sucked dry and yet you have to keep going!

All you can think of when is putting your feet up, being pampered by Julia and the LPG Sports machine and relieving your butt of its agony!!

All this pain and agony makes you feel ALIVE, with your blood racing around faster than SA’s strike rate against the Netherlands!
