Don't Look Back - The Rhino Run Story
"“It will take all their physical, mental, and emotional strength just to get to the finish in Windhoek.""
The Rhino Run is a 2750km self-supported bikepacking race. It starts in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa, and finishes in Windhoek, Namibia. There are no aid stations, route markings, backup vehicles, or support. Riders must complete the route via GPS tracking and may only get aid at the various shops and towns along the route. The route traverses through some of the harshest landscapes in South Africa like the Cederberg and the Tankwa Karoo, once the riders hit Namibia they will traverse through the Namib Desert and along the D707 which is dubbed "Namibia's Dream Road". “Don’t Look Back” follows the story of some of the riders from the inaugural Rhino Run. It is a story of grit, perseverance, and the resolve to never give up. The 2022 edition featured one of the most celebrated fields ever at an ultra-distance event of this nature. Would the newcomers have what it takes to challenge the established veterans?
