In addition to celebrating its 10th<\/sup> anniversary in 2018, the organisers of the IMPI Challenge are excited to welcome Fedhealth Medical Aid as the new title sponsor of this premier Obstacle Course Race (OCR).<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat better way to celebrate a decade of hosting the IMPI Challenge than with the exciting announcement of a new title sponsor,\u201d says Pieter Du Plessis, IMPI Challenge Race Director.\u00a0 \u201cFedhealth places a huge focus on family involvement, healthy living and getting outdoors.\u00a0\u00a0 This is exactly what IMPI is all about.\u00a0 With Fedhealth on board entrants can look forward to exciting innovations in 2018 including new obstacles, an increased prize purse in the Elite Race and amazing sponsor activations to mention just a few.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe IMPI Challenge is an enjoyable trail run with awesome obstacles,\u201d continues Du Plessis.\u00a0 \u201cWe invite family members, friends and even corporates to be part of the action.\u00a0 Entrants can look forward to an adrenaline pumping experience that will test fitness levels, challenge fears, but most importantly celebrate accomplishments.\u00a0 Together with Fedhealth we look forward to further elevating the IMPI experience in 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeremy Yatt, Principal Officer: Fedhealth, says: \u201cFedhealth is extremely excited to be welcomed as the title sponsor of the Fedhealth IMPI Challenge. We love the fact that it\u2019s a more relaxed sporting event that gives families the opportunity to bond out on the trails over a series of fun obstacles. A fun way to exercise and spend quality time together! What\u2019s more is that Fedhealth members can enter for free, so we hope to see many of our members at these races in 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n
