Werner Pretsch
Fundraising for Calling Cape Town Challenge 2027
About Werner Pretsch
I am professionally an advocate from both The Pretoria and Johannesburg Bar, and a daily advocate for marriage and kids. I currently have a seven-month-old daughter, with a brother or sister arriving in May 2027. I have without doubt a passion and a small addiction to endurance events. I enjoy difficult races, as they prepare you for the real world. I have completed Johannesburg Ultra (2021), Ironman 70.3 Durban (2022), Ironman Port Elizabeth 70.3 (2023), Ironman Mossel Bay (2023) (Ironman4thekidz team entry, second place), Oxpecker (2023), Ironman Port Elizabeth (2024), UTCT 55 km (2024), Ironman Durban 2025, Ironman Port Elizabeth (2025), and Mossel Bay 70.3 (2025) (Tour Medal). Over the years, I have also done at least more than 15 road races, trail runs such as the Cradle Cracker Trail Run (second place), four Sun City Ultra sprint or Olympic-distance races just to mention some. I have some bigger goals for the next year, such as UTCT 100 km and a Backyard Ultra. Unfortunately, I did not get a Comrades entry. I would love to participate in an exclusive event such as Calling Cape Town and, even more so, get involved in its fundraising. I trust that, through my networks in Pretoria and Johannesburg, I will be able to raise a significant amount as an individual.
