Outeniqua chair Challenge

The Outeniqua Chair Challenge had humble beginnings in 2002 with just 27 athletes participating in a half marathon race down the Outeniqua Pass into George.
This prestigious (wheel) chair event in South Africa for persons with physical disabilities,
now known as the OCC, is organised by a dedicated team of professionals and
volunteers.
The OCC gives the ordinary person in a (wheel) chair the opportunity to rediscover
long-forgotten abilities and achieve something very special for him or herself.
It has become a pioneering event in South Africa for previously
disadvantaged and disabled young athletes, as well as all disabled persons, who
embrace the opportunity to take part in a major sporting event that recognises them
as athletes, no matter what their level of participation.
This year’s Outeniqua Chair Challenge – the 20th race since its inception in 2002 – athletes will participate in a 42.2 km, 21.1 km, 10 km race or 5 km Fun in George, (host- and founder city) on Saturday, 24 February 2024.
All activities takes place at the Race Village at Carpe Diem School
