The Wilson is a personal paddling challenge to do 10 Millers Runs in one day, starting from the South Slip, around the Rock and to Fish Hoek beach.
It's about physical endurance, mental strength and testing your limits.
And when you get to the end of the day the sense of accomplishment is massive.
The challenge gets taken collectively by any paddler during a window period in the first 3 weeks of January. It's done during this time because the days are long but mostly because completing a personal challenge is a great way to start a new year.

There is no entry fee but paddlers are encouraged to raise donations towards a local pre-school, Victory Kids.

The Challenge is named after the late Wayne Wild Dog Wilson who's Durban based paddling mates Zoog Haynes and Linton Hope decided to do something epic in his honour a few years back. They decided to try do 10 Millers Runs in a day.

The local Cape Town based crew called Millers Maniacs jumped onto it and recreated the challenge again in early 2021.

And so the epic Wilson was born!
