R2.5m playground in your backyard - don't miss the Hollard Jozi Urban Adventure Weekend

What makes the Hollard JUMA and Hollard JURA so unique? A great deal of organisation and infrastructure is involved in creating the running and mountain biking routes you'll experience on 2 and 3 June 2018. R2.5m spent all so you can experience a one-of-a-kind urban adventure in the heart of Johannesburg.

Where it all goes...

To turn Johannesburg into the ultimate rider and runners playground is not easy. As you sit reading this, the Hollard JUMA and Hollard JURA team is hard at work. Building 12 scaffold builds (that’s over 77 tons of scaffolding) that go over and under Jozi’s main roads, lighting up 700m of secret underground tunnels, constructing more than 20 obstacles (including a custom-built floating bridge over Emmarentia), installing 114 ramps in and out of stormwater drains, erecting two massive scaffolding bridges, blowing up 20 giant inflatable obstacles, opening up over nine different fences across Johannesburg, clearing up 50 bags worth of litter and so much more...

Russell Willis, event organiser, BAM Event & Experience Creators comments, “Annually we spend millions developing and maintaining the routes, and this is what makes it so unique. The areas throughout Johannesburg we take runners and riders in and out of are completely different to what you've done before. We want every runner and rider to have an experience they’ll never forget.”
