About this event
The 2022 TimBuild Spookhill Challenge took place Saturday, 18 June 2022 from 08:00, at Beaumont Primary School in Somerset West, Western Cape, South Africa. Distances included a 15km and 5km races.
Spookhill 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!
