23.01.2022 MTB Results, combined are on their way.

23.01.2022 After much discussion among the organising committee it has been decided to give the Cataract Challenge a rest for 2017. The low competitor numbers for the last event along with a potential reduction in interest in multisport events in general has led us to this decision. A lot of effort goes into these events and our main motivation is seeing people enjoying them. We are considering a format change for future Challenges, one idea being an off road triathlon with all legs starting and finishing at the Basin. Get in touch if you have an interest in organising these types of events, we are always keen to involve some new ideas/energy. Thanks to everyone who has supported the 3 Cataract Challenges so far, whether sponsor, competitor or spectator, we have enjoyed showcasing what this amazing space has to offer.
