3. 3 x 4 x 5 | TEAM RELAY RUN
Runners enter as a team (3, 4 or preferably 5 members per team). Team members will run laps of 3 km each. The challenge for teams will be to complete as many 3 km laps as possible in the allotted time period, i.e., 4 hours (07h30 - 11h30). Nominate a team captain, decide on a cool name & theme for your team and bring along heaps of team spirit!
There are 3 categories to choose from:
MEN Only Team
WOMEN Only Team
MIXED Team (At least 1 woman in a 3-member team and 2 women in a 4- or 5-member team).
Involve non-runners, family, friends and/or companies, by encouraging them to sponsor your team! This way we can ALL show GRATITUDE.
It is all about team work and supporting your team mates, while they are soaking in the exquisite surrounds of the beautiful Dornier Wines. There will be live music, prizes, lucky draws, enthusiastic athletes and sponsors supporting a worthy cause!
Online Entry fee: R700 per team
Starting Time: 07h30
It is not joy that makes us GRATEFUL, it is GRATITUDE that makes us JOYFUL!
Please note that PARKING on the farm is limited. To ensure a smoother experience for everyone, we encourage carpooling or using services like Uber, to help reduce the number of vehicles on site. Thank you for your cooperation in this regard!
