HEMINGWAYS HOSPITALITY SPONSORS THE FOLEYS CHARGER AT RHINO CHARGE 2023
Date published: 4/08/2023
Proud to have sponsored the Foleys Hemingways Charger at this unique & grueling off-road motorsport competition where competing teams are required to visit 13 check points scattered over approximately 100 km of rough terrain within a 10 hour period.
Entrants are supplied with a map of the venue, coordinates of the check points, and their start position the night before the event. Each competitor must plot the check points on the map and decide their route. The winner is the team who visits the most check points in the shortest distance.
Happy to have emerged 24th overall & 4th in unmodified class category. We look forward to sponsoring the Foleys Hemingways Charger in the next edition of Rhino Charge!
The event raised KES175,000,000 for the Rhino Ark Kenya Charitable Trust which raises money for the building of electric eco-fences around mountain ecosystems in Kenya(Aberdare National Park, Mt. Kenya and Mau Eburu).
These provide an “ark” for wildlife such as rhino, leopard, elephant and mountain bongo, as well as protecting vital upland water tables of Kenya, the so-called Water Towers. Rhinoark has raised millions of pounds for wildlife conservation and to secure the crucial water catchments that serve millions of Kenyan people. The Rhino Ark Aberdare Electric Fence is a world-renowned example of how to achieve a ‘win-win’ equilibrium that balances the needs of local communities and wildlife, and this has now been expanded to encompass both the Mount Eburu and Mount Kenya ecosystems.
