What racers say

  • Lisa — first IMPI Elite at Van Gaalen ↗

    Lisa / AdventureLisa · 2015

    Lisa enjoys varied scenery and obstacles and finds registration, wave starts and the finish-photo service efficient. She appreciates low crowding in her Elite group while describing difficult carries, walls and grip obstacles.

    Complete original article body read, posted 25 September 2015; explicitly Van Gaalens and an approximately 18 km/twenty-six-obstacle Elite course. Exact raced day remains uncertain: relative-day wording and a photo-label day differ. The writer thanks Pieter and Nikki for inviting her; her prior archive identifies the organizer as a former adventure-racing teammate, and she mentions former running-media colleagues. Funding/free-entry status and independently verified finish are unstated. Perceived crowding, dimensions and physical difficulty are personal observations. Training/medical/safety advice and photographs are not adopted. No numerical rating or unchanged 2014/future-route claim.

Series
IMPI Challenge
  • The original Newsport Media announcement verifies the 15–16 March 2014 obstacle/trail programme at Van Gaalens Cheese Farm, with Challenge, Dash, Elite and Corporate classes. Mini is a separate children’s class, not an additional adult race family.
  • Lisa’s complete 2015 account independently identifies the same farm and an approximately 18 km Elite route with twenty-six obstacles. Those are her historical class labels, not measurements of the 2014 programme or an unchanged future course. Her invitation and prior relationship with the organizer remain disclosed.
  • Smuts House and other IMPI venues stay separate, as does the differently organized Magalies Mayhem at this farm. The former organizer website is unavailable; no current edition or numerical quality rating is verified.
