Welcome to the 2021 “Activity Challenge Series”

A series of virtual fun activities to get you moving!

DATE:  see countdown-timers on the right of this page

This activity challenge is to get us moving whilst having fun.  It is virtual and therefore fully flexible to suit all lifestyles.  It is easy, there is a 3 km race for those who want to take it easy and a 10km for the more serious ones.

YOU CAN WIN! 3 Takealot vouchers worth R300.00 each to be won, for those who complete the race and submit their STRAVA record and photos to us!

You can do it on your own, with your family or virtually with your extended work family. You can walk, run, or cycle. You can see it as a “race” if you wish (but there no prizes for being fast) or just a chance to get out, do something and get some healthy activity into your weekend.
