A fierce finish
Although teams had a broad time
allocation to complete the race, the
competition heated up towards the
end. As van den Berg describes, “At
one point, we saw a team walking
leisurely towards the finish line,
hand in hand. Suddenly, other teams
emerged from all sides, sprinting to
beat each other to the end. It was
exciting to watch!”

The winners – a group of friends
going by The Olas – crossed the finish
line in just over three hours. Their
prize? They each received a R1,000
Aurora Aesthetics & Sculpting Studio
voucher, dinner, bed and breakfast
at the Riboville Boutique Hotel and The winning team: The Olas
Restaurant, a R2,500 Mall of Africa
shopping voucher, Famous Brands
Polofields Crossing food voucher, and
a queen-size bed valued at R20,000
from Sleep Science. Second place
went to Team Sky, and third place
to The Witsies. Along with the top
winners, spot prizes were also handed
out to the Best Dance Team, Slow
Pokes, Coolest Clan and more.
