In 2025, we launched the Out & Back Challenge. A winter running challenge in Stellenbosch and Pretoria designed to keep our community moving, even when conditions aren’t ideal.

Take on the route from our Versus Shop to the Jonkershoek Gate (±18km) and back in Stellenbosch, or to the Fort Klapperkop Gate (±16km) and back in Pretoria, and you've earned your exclusive Out & Back socks along with a well-deserved goodie bag.

This year, more than 7,500 runners of all fitness levels took on the challenge, covering an incredible 129,869 km — that’s the equivalent of circling the earth 3.2 times!
