The Hog Charge is a race using mountain bikes, for teams of 4 persons each, between checkpoints on Sukari Ranch, which is adjacent to Peponi School. The event features three Entry Classes: Under 12; Under 14; and Open. Each Class will have three sections: Boys, Girls and Mixed. It is a fund raising event that is held every year to raise funds to support the Rhino Ark Charitable Trust’s conservation work in Kenya.
This year’s event follows a brand new format, which features a separate Gauntlet Competition on a special course that will be set up nearby. This is a departure from previous years in which the Gauntlet section was part of the main competition course.
The 2011 event featured 125 teams, and raised a total of Kshs. 3.5 million towards Rhino Ark’s conservation work in the Aberdare ecosystem.
