What happens in Rhodes stays in Rhodes ... well, most of the time!

For our 25th anniversary in 2013 we published a pictorial memento which contained a few non-redacted images released in terms of the required period under the Rhodes Run Official Secrets Act, 1990, as amended 2013.

Those who recall 1996 will be relieved to know that the 'Mustang Sally' photographs were not redacted, they were expunged entirely.

The book outlines the history of this iconic event. Long forgotten images proving folklore to be fact, memories of runs before lycra, of friendships forged and how a once forgotten village far from the 'bright lights' hosts one of South Africa's 'bucket list' extreme events.
