Zero2Hero SD Challenge MTB (10km)

Description

Zero2Hero Social Distancing Challenge

Considering our current circumstances and the uncertainty regarding when the next MTB and trail running events may be allowed, Hero Adventure has decided to launch the Zero2Hero challenges. The Paarl Adventure Trail project has a network of custom-built interlinking trails in Paarl, making it the perfect setting for real rides and runs, not virtual ones!

The challenge comprises of 4 events – 2 per week (with MTB and trail running alternating between Rhebokskloof and Spice Route). Each participant will have a week to complete the challenge, allowing enough time and distance to adhere to social distancing rules.

Challenge One starts with MTB at Rhebokskloof whilst the trail running is kicking off at Spice Route on the 8th of June.

The nitty gritty:

• Competitors are timed online in the categories: Under and over 21 (men and women).
• Each finisher will receive a finisher’s medal after having completed the challenge.
• Unfortunately, friends and family not living with you may not join you at the same time on the route. Everyone can compete, but strict social distancing applies and you may only ride or run with people living with you in your home.
• A distance of at least 10m needs to be maintained.
• No social gatherings are permitted (not on or off the trails, neither before or after the challenges).

Let’s get you started:
1. Visit https://hero.uwekoetter.com and click on the challenge you would like to participate in.

7. Finishers will also receive a mail regarding arrangements for finisher medals.

Once you have completed the challenge and are a winner, we’ll get your prize to you.

Why support?

Not unlike everyone else, the lockdown has severely affected the Paarl Adventure Trail project. The Zero2Hero challenge is not only a good way to get out there and discover or rediscover the trails, but also generate some funds for the maintenance of them. It will also assist with the various projects we run.
