Cableway medal a meaningful token of participation

PARTICIPANTS from across South Africa will descend on Table Mountain tomorrow with one common goal - to tackle Platteklip Gorge as part of the annual Cableway Charity Challenge.

- 

On race day, runners, walkers and joggers undertake to climb Platteklip Gorge as many times as possible between sunrise and sunset, to raise money for charity.

And at the end of the race, each participant will receive something meaningful - a medal made from the retired track rope cable once used by Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC).

The steel cable, removed during the 2024 annual maintenance period, has been cut into discs by residents of The Ark - City of Refuge, a Cape Town-based organisation that supports people affected by homelessness and unemployment.
