The 2018 Fedhealth IMPI Challenge #2 in Durban boasts an impressive combined prize purse of R43\u00a0000 with the Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Elite Race winners guaranteed a whopping R10\u00a0000 each on Saturday, 16 June 2018.<\/p>\n
Armin Botha (Potchefstroom) obliterated the Elite Men\u2019s field in an impressive time of 02 hours 49 seconds at his very first Fedhealth IMPI Elite Race #1 at Coetzenburg (Stellenbosch) in April this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s fantastic when sponsors and organisers come together to offer elite athletes such an incredible prize,\u201d says Botha.\u00a0 \u201cI aspire to compete as a professional athlete and train full time.\u00a0 Events like the Fedhealth IMPI Elite Race make it possible to pursue that dream.\u00a0 It’s such an awesome journey, but as an elite athlete there are certain expenses that we need to cover to be able to perform at our best, this includes physio sessions, sport massages and dietary supplements to mention just a few.\u00a0\u00a0 A prize purse makes it possible to cover these expenses and allows us to focus on the next big event.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dominique DOliveira (Bellville, Western Cape) claimed gold in the women\u2019s Fedhealth IMPI Elite Race #1 in a deserving time of 03 hours 05 minutes 57 seconds.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Prize Purse in the Fedhealth IMPI Elite Race definitely helps to attract athletes from around the country,\u201d confirms DOliveira.\u00a0 \u201cMost elites would probably not enter if the winnings didn’t at least cover their costs, but of course there’s always a risk because that podium spot is never guaranteed.\u00a0 Most of us don’t earn a living from the sport, yet we sacrifice loads of our time and money to be the best that we can be.\u00a0 Even though we take part in Obstacle Course Races because we love it, a decent prize purse is a nice additional incentive that may push us to be better at what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n
