Teams from the Caxton Reynolds Race 2013 got their first lead on Thursday (July 18), at the meet and greet cocktail launch party at Hirsch’s Boksburg.

The teams are all excited to get the race started, and proof of completed tasks were already submitted only a couple of hours after receiving their leads.

The Caxton Reynolds Race 2013 will see all 12 teams from across the entire East Rand complete a series of tasks over the next six weeks.

Each week they will get points according to the timing in which they submit their proof of completed tasks.
