Obstacle course champs, Van Tonder and Deysel, beat The Beast Winter Challenge

PIETERMARITZBURG, 19 JULY 2017 – Jeep Team OCR athletes, Thomas van Tonder and Jay Jay Deysel, were among the 70 athletes and 39 teams brave enough to accept the Beast Winter Challenge at the Wedge 4×4 Trail in Muldersdrift this past weekend.

The Beast Winter Challenge offered two Obstacle Course Races (OCR), a 10km Polar Bear OCR and a 5km Snow Fox OCR, with both events featuring hill running, tough gripping, climbing, and crawling through numerous difficult obstacles, especially designed by elite OCR athletes.

Van Tonder, never one to give up, hammered his way into the lead and stayed there, claiming a resounding first place in a time of 00:52:45.  Jay Jay Deysel was in great form coming second in 00:58:59, with Wynand Louw in third in 01:04:05.

Says van Tonder, “An awesome day of OCR, with Jeep Team taking top 2 podium spots at The Beast Winter Challenge. I am stoked with another win at The Beast.”
