Synopsis
The Madiba Challenge is a sport, human, and philanthropic adventure led by Théo Curin and Ismaël Khelifa. From their daily training sessions to specialized camps in Annecy, Marseille, and Paris, focused on swimming, cycling, and both physical and mental preparation, their journey will take them to Cape Town, South Africa. There, they will face a 30 km relay swim in 14°C waters, followed by a 100 km bike ride to the township of Langa. The Madiba Challenge takes us on an extraordinary journey of endurance that concludes with the realisation of a social mission. The groundwork laid by Ismaël and Théo embodies their dream of creating an inspiring and sustainable space for South African youth.
