It will be held on June 1 and the starting point is Penryn College. The aim of the event is to raise funds. Child Welfare SA Nelspruit is an NPO that depends on donations and fund-raising.

Child Welfare SA Nelspruit was established in 1937 after a number of ladies in the community came together with the aim of assisting children and families who were in need.

The organisation has since rendered social welfare services to the community of Mbombela and its surrounding areas: Mataffin, Nelsville, KaMagugu, Valencia and Pienaar.

Child Welfare SA Nelspruit renders valuable services as a community-based, non-governmental organisation, with the object to relieve social problems experienced by children and their families.

Here is what you need to know about the race

Teams of four people will receive clues, bridges and detours in various places within Mbombela boundaries.
Each team will have to work together to go through all the clues to reach the finish.

Each group will travel in their own car, so there must be at least one licensed driver. Each team of four is requested to register and pay an entry fee of R2 000.

The judging and prize-giving takes place at the end of the race.

According to Child Welfare SA Nelspruit, last year they had local businesses and community members participating and the race was a success.
