This event isn’t just about pushing physical limits; it’s about raising support for incredible causes while gaining national and international exposure. Three challenges that make up THE500:
- 500km Cycling Challenge – 10 × 50km laps in 24 hours
- 24-Hour Spinning Marathon – 24 back-to-back spinning sessions
- 24-Hour Zwift Marathon – 12 consecutive 90-minute virtual cycling sessions, streamed globally with international participation
And guess what? Our very own Hennie du Toit is taking on the Zwift Challenge! 💪 Representing Diverso on the virtual stage, Hennie will cycle alongside UK riders, top virtual cycling celebs, and global clubs—bringing international eyes to this cause.
But here’s the real challenge: alongside the sweat, determination, and cycling power, we need to fuel the 15 Zwifters who will physically ride in the hall throughout the marathon. That’s where you can help.
👉 The cost of keeping these athletes fed and fueled is R750 per person (R11 250 in total). Every contribution helps, and businesses can also benefit from a Section 18A certificate for tax purposes.
How You Can Support
- Sponsor a Zwifter for R750
- Contribute towards the team’s meals
- Showcase your brand with flags, banners, or other marketing materials at the event
- Spread the word—share this with anyone who might want to support or get involved
Hennie and the Diverso team are giving it their all—not just in cycling, but in making a real difference. Every pedal stroke is powered by purpose, and your support can keep the wheels turning.
