About the Race

The Race Against Time is a cycling endurance challenge for committed riders who want to do the ‘End to End’ fully supported in less than a week (see the 2008 route here).

 

In 2008 the ride will be six full days, with team members riding a gruelling 145 miles a day.

 

The Race raises funds for HIV/AIDS work in South Africa, particularly work with orphans and vulnerable children. It is endorsed by news reader, Jon Snow.

 

The name of the ride reflects the urgency with which the HIV/AIDS problem in South Africa must be addressed – both the needs of those already affected by the virus, and those who can still protect themselves.
