Over the weekend, I had the amazing opportunity to head up to Sugar Rush Park; in Ballito, to cover the first edition of the North Coast Challenger.
The North Coast Challenger is a 3 day MTB or 2 day trail running event, that hosts a variety of distances for every family member to get outside and enjoy.
I had the privilege of working with a pretty talented media crew, Anthony Grote Photography covering the MTB side things, as well as Tyron and Jenna from Flight Film Productions covering all the video content from the weekend.

Other than the Friday, the event was graced with ideal weather conditions. Nice and warm but nothing that was unbearable. On the Friday, the cyclists had to contest with extreme gale force winds, but luckily that all subsided on the Saturday and Sunday.
It was so great to experience and see so much excitement by everyone before their respective events, always makes photographing such a pleasure.

I had an absolute blast exploring the North Coast Sugarcane over the 2 days I was at the event. Only getting lost a handful of times, but thats all part of the adventure right?
well done to everyone who took part, looks like a lot of fun was had and I look forward to this event next year.

​Until Next Time
