Caxton Reynolds Race: Let’s go shopping (round six)

Each team was given a grocery list with 20 items and they all had 10 minutes to collect as many items as they could from the shelves in the store.

The team with the most items walked away with the highest points for this leg of the race.

Team Kempton Express and The Tembisan collected the most items on the day .

there was, however, a tie for third place, between team Bedfordview Edenvale News and Joburg East Express and the Joburg

South team.

To break the tie, one team member from each team had to stand in a -15 degrees freezer and the first member to come out would have lost out.

This went on for 50 minutes and, fearing for the participants health and possible hypothermia, the organisers of the event offered the two teams a different tie-breaker, which they declined, and team Bedfordview and Edenvale News and Joburg East Express decided to give team Joburg South the third place for this leg of the race.

Upon completing this task, the contestants had to quickly take part in a hotdog eating competition, in a race to win a R500 shopping voucher from Benoni Market Spar.

Teams Benoni City Times and Germiston City News tied in this challenge and decided to split the voucher.

Team Brakpan, unfortunately, was unable to make it to this task.

The winners of this year’s race will earn an all-expenses paid trip to Zanzibar, sponsored by SA Reynolds Travel Centre, in Springs.

The next challenge will take place in Joburg South, at Kenilworth Market Spar, on Saturday, July 19.

The challenge on this day will determine which three teams will be moving forward for the final race.
