On September 21 the top three teams will complete a series of tasks, starting in front of the SA Reynolds Travel Centre in Springs. Here they will have to complete a challenge as a team, and then continue to their next destination once judges are satisfied with their execution of the challenge.
At 9am that same morning residents are invited to join organisers, sponsors and local performers at the Boksburg Rugby Club for a family fun day with food stalls representing the various cultures living in South Africa.
Flea market stalls will also be available and a cooking competition will be held where the winner will walk away with a culinary course sponsored by Capsicum Culinary Studio.
