Overview

About this event

The 2019 TimberCity Spookhill Challenge took place on Saturday, 29 June 2019, at Beaumont Primary School in Somerset West, Western Cape. Distances were 15km and 5km. Results have not been published yet.

Spook Hill is a section of Parel Valley Road in Somerset West where if you switch your car off it appears to run up the hill instead of moving downhill. It has generated much discussion as to whether this apparent phenomenon is an optical illusion due to magnetism, or just one of the world's great unsolved mysteries!

NOTE: This is a #CarryMyOwn race and is plastic free. Please bring your own water bottle.
