THE ANCHOR CHALLENGE
A new, dynamic, unique, limited entry, multi-event sports race that will take
place in one of the world’s finest venues, Fish Hoek Cape Town. With Kent
& Claire Horner (International tri-athletes) and Dawid & Nikki Mocke (2010 world
surfski champion and 2008 Olympic K4 Team respectively) forming part of the organizing team, it is bound to be one of the most exciting races in the sporting calendar.
The Anchor Challenge comprises 4 separate events but with no transition zone. It starts with a 25 km mountain bike cycle into the beautiful Silvermine Mountains. On completion, competitors will have time to recover, regroup and strategise for the surf ski leg. With further breaks between each event, a swim will follow the surf ski and finally a testing 3-lap, 12km beach run will end the day’s racing.
Competitors may enter as individuals or in teams of 2 or 4 (men, women or mixed).
All 4 events must be completed in order to qualify for overall cash prizes. In addition, smaller spot cash prizes will be awarded for the winner of each respective leg. Competitors with best overall times in completing all 4 events will be awarded the prestigious title of, ‘ANCHOR MAN’ & ‘ANCHOR WOMAN’. To maximize excitement, at the end of each leg, the leading individual man and woman will wear a ‘yellow number’. Leading teams will also wear special identification.
