It’s the adventure and challenge of a lifetime. The Great World Race is a bucket list event for at least 60 runners and Cape Town hosts a leg of the event. Jake Dunne and Tony Brown are two runners taking part.

Wishing Jake and Tony (and all the runners) all the best with their run. It all kicks off on Saturday in Antarctica with the African leg of the challenge taking place in Cape Town on Sunday 16 November.
