This year due to the pandemic, the event is being done virtually.
Event organisers aim to raise R1m in funds this year.
The annual Cableway Charity Challenge which kicked off this past weekend is once again set to raise funds for various organisations in dire need in the greater Cape Town area.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the event this year is going virtual with a total of 137 athletes already taking part in a nine-day walk/run uphill on Table Mountain.
The virtual event is encouraging locals to support and sponsor participants to do as many laps as possible up Platteklip Gorge, summiting Table Mountain and descending from the top using the cable car.
