tackles 'Mavis' on his 20th Rhodes Run |
Iain Morshead, twice overall winner and holder of the 50+ best time set this year, describing the Hooggenoeg Ridge section post-race "It is tough, unrelenting and unique to Rhodes, long live the tussocks of terror"
Last year our photographer, Craig Muller, created the hashtag #WeDontDoManicured
If you find yourself on a track or on a path on Hooggenoeg you know that you are going the wrong way!
Hooggenoeg Ridge is indeed worthy of its very own collection of images.
