Team Kempton wins Reynolds Race challenge
Saturday's challenge will determine which three teams will move forward to the final race.
IS it true that women do more grocery shopping than men?
Well, the contestants of the Caxton Reynolds Race 2014 put this myth to the test on Saturday at Benoni Market Spar.
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. There was 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 degree freezer. The first member who came out. This went on for 50 minutes and fearing for their health and hypothermia, the organisers 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.
Team Benoni City Times and Germiston City News tied and decided to split the voucher in half.
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. This challenge will determine which three teams will move forward to the final race.
Team Brakpan unfortunately was unable to make it to this task.
