The only constant is change, and really, that is how we got here. In 2004, I started a little blog called Urban Ninja in the hopes of sharing my experiences with other athletes whilst keeping sponsors…
Competition time! R10 000 in prizes up for grabs and its so super easy to win. Rehidrat Sport have an entry plus accommodation up for grabs in the AfricanX Trail Run. Quick overview here: When partici…
While the Wines2Whales Race is taking place this weekend, marking one of the big races for me this year (and especially so racing for Rehidrat Sport) I thought I might share some of the little things …
