1,6km race pitted

participating teams against each other while overcoming 10 obstacles along the way.
The obstacles posed a variety of challenges, with some designed to test strength, agility and teamwork, while others involved brainteasers geared more towards testing logic and dexterity.
Highlights of the race were definitely the 3m wall where
“”
teams had to work together, pushing and pulling, to get over. The rope climb and 3D burger
“”
puzzle were other fun speed bumps. However, it was agreed that the new school indoor rock
climbing wall was the overall team favourite.
The event was geared towards family fun and many teams got into the spirit by dressing up, bringing mascots along and inventing silly walks and songs.
Vodacom4U in Berea were fantastic race sponsors and provided incredible prizes and lucky draws.
Congratulations to the Booti Brothers and their limegreen octopus mascot for being the overall winners by conquering the course in a lightning 23 minutes and 56 seconds!
The race was a great success and the school aims to build on this next year. Look out for 2021 s event with more
’ obstacles, more fun and some big splashes.
In order to make sure the race was as safe as possible in light of the ongoing pandemic, the entry process was contactless and each team had a specific time slot so that there was only one team on each part of the course at a time.
