The first event was held in 1997 at Ruimsig. 6 of the 7 entrants started
and finished the race. The general feeling was that 48 Hours is tougher than
either 24 hours or 6 Days because the target kms are higher than 24 Hours but
there is less resting time than for a 6 Day.
The race was held again in 1998, this time sponsored by Monument Toyota but
attracted only 3 runners . If the race is held again, the 1997 and 1998 results
would still be valid for permanent numbers etc.

Held in 2001, maybe 2002 and then again in 2003 in Witbank. Attracting 18 runners in 2001, the number dropped to 8 in 2003.
