Whether you're training for Ironman or just like a good fitness challenge that's a bit out of the ordinary and a whole lot of fun, you'll want to sign up for the most unusual test of endurance in Joburg –The Ponte City Challenge. It's a race against yourself to the top of the highest residential building in Africa, Berea's infamous 54 storey Ponte City. There are more than 900 stairs to tackle to make it to the top and the time to beat is an astonishing 5 minutes 47 seconds!

After you've reached the 54th floor there's the chance to relax and enjoy the view over a continental breakfast at Dlala Nje (an NGO and walking tour company who work in the Ponte building)'s event venue 5101 at the top of the tower block.

Prior booking is essential.
