SA CHALLENGE 2011 !!! - DATED POSTED 25 MAY 2011

The SA Challenge 2011
After having successfully held the event in the Magaliesberg in 2010, the 2011 edition of the SA Challenge will once again take place in the Western Cape, with the event being held on the banks of the Breede River from Thursday 8th September to Sunday 11th. Participants will be hosted at "Round the Bend", a Felix Unite River Adventures resort, situated on the Breede River, approximately 2 ½ hours from Cape Town. The main lodge at Round the Bend has panoramic views of the scenic Breede River and has all the necessary facilities. Participants will be comfortably accommodated in chalets and luxury tented accommodation.

The Felix Unite group of companies are industry leaders in guided river trips and corporate team building, and add a great deal of value to the SA Challenge by virtue of their experience and expertise, not to mention the wonderful venues that meet all the requirements of staging a logistically challenging event such as the SA Challenge.

2011 Charity

The Cipla Miles for Smiles foundation was formed to assist Operation Smile in creating awareness for the plight of children born with cleft lips and palates, and raise funds to perform corrective surgery on them. The foundation has a fundamental aim, to inspire and challenge individuals to go out and make a difference in the lives of those around them, by challenging themselves to achieve the impossible and by doing so make a difference.

The Charity is spearheaded by David Grier, who through his extraordinary exploits, has helped change the lives of thousands of children. David has run the length of the Great Wall of China, around the entire coastline of South Africa, paddled a kayak from Mozambique to Madagascar and run the entire length of Madagascar. The South African Challenge will, over and above the funds raised by participants, donate 5% of all income – entries and sponsorships – to Miles for Smiles. More details can be found at
