About this event
The 2019 TimberCity Spookhill Challenge took place Saturday, 29 June 2019 from 08:00, at Beaumont Primary School in Somerset West, Western Cape, South Africa. Distances included a 15km and 5km races.
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.
