Sani2c magic remains despite change of finish venue
There were a number of factors that influenced the decision to change the finish venue, but ultimately it was a need to streamline the entire finish process that made Haw and his team change the end point of the entire race.
WITH this year’s KAP sani2c just under two months away, organisers have taken the decision to move the finish of the race from the Scottburgh Main Beach to the nearby Scottburgh Primary School to improve the logistics at the end of the trio of events, the first of which gets under way on 8 May.
Race organiser ‘Farmer’ Glen Haw has quickly reassured riders that the iconic three day race from the foothills of the Drakensberg to the sea will take riders to the Scottburgh beachfront on their way to the finish at the primary school.
“Riders will still get to the sea,” Haw ensured. “We will still have the floating bridge on the lagoon and riders will be on the beach for a bit so everything is the same we have just added about another two kilometres to get to the junior school.”
There were a number of factors that influenced the decision to change the finish venue, but ultimately it was a need to streamline the entire finish process that made Haw and his team change the end point of the entire race.
“We found that we needed to simplify the logistics of the finish,” Haw explained. “The beach is a public space and the size of the event made it quite a difficult area to host the finish.
In 2018, the team will be out to make a few minor tweaks to the event that.
“We want to try and improve the flow of the riding a bit more this year,” Haw added.
