This year is the 20th occasion for George to host the Outeniqua ‘Chair Challenge (OCC) on February 24.
This dual competitive event, however, is not only for wheelchairs.
Organiser Alewijn Dippenaar says the two categories are open to quadriplegic and paraplegic athletes, while the subcategories cater for competitors depending on the type of chair used.
There is also a fun 5km course completed by competitors in wheelchairs pushed by an array of awesome helpers.
Nationals from Namibia, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Botswana have also entered this year's race.
OCC 2024 takes place at Carpe Diem School on Saturday, February 24, but the premises will be buzzing with activity from Friday the 23rd between 11 am and 6 pm when participants arrive in droves to confirm their registration.
