Top multi-sport athletes, Top multi-sport athletes, Ian Don-Wauchope and Carla Van Huyssteen set the course ablaze on Saturday, September 27 when they took on the IMPI Elite Race at the picturesque Van Gaalens Cheese Farm (Hartebeespoort / North West Province).

Don-Wauchope conquered the course in a lightning fast time of 1 hour 46 minutes 42 seconds, while Van Huyssteen successfully defended her title in the women’s race in a deserving time of 02 hours 04 minutes 18 seconds.
“I really didn’t expect to win,” says Don-Wauchope.

“I only heard about the IMPI Challenge on Friday. We were in Johannesburg for a memorial service. Sue and I always wanted to take part, so we made arrangements to spend the night. I haven’t done any strength or upper body training. The plan was literally to take part and learn as much as possible before we take on our next event.

The IMPI Elite Race was fantastic. It definitely ads a new dimension to trail running. I fully support IMPI Director, Pieter Du Plessis’s ethos of making the IMPI Challenge a true trail run with obstacles. We are now very keen to take on the IMPI Elite Race in Cape Town in October”.

Eduan Neeb came in second, while Greg Avierinos finished third. According to Van Huyssteen, all four IMPI structures are equally important.

“For the athlete that enjoys competition the IMPI Elite Race is ideal, while participants that enjoy competing together as a team will love the IMPI Challenge. There literally is an IMPI event for all participants.
I had a very nice IMPI Elite Race today and really enjoyed the obstacles.

All in all the day was great fun. The obstacles are challenging, but not life threatening. I plan to compete at the IMPI Elite Race in Cape Town in October. My focus at the moment is on mountain biking, but I will do my best to include some running in between my training as I’d like to be in top form when I compete”.

Nicolette Griffioen came in second, while Adrienne Moolman finished third. Combining trail running with an adventure style obstacle course, the IMPI Challenge is a spectator friendly event that is ideal for the entire family! and Carla Van Huyssteen set the course ablaze on Saturday, September 27 when they took on the IMPI Elite Race at the picturesque Van Gaalens Cheese Farm (Hartebeespoort / North West Province).
