Just be LEKKER ;-D

"Race hard, stay kind.” Remember, it's all about enjoying the event. While we strive to create an awesome experience for everyone, hiccups can happen even to the best. Keep in mind, this is a Charity Event, done out of love for our community. We're unpaid organizers, juggling countless details, and unforeseen challenges are part of the deal. Entry systems being super-efficient means people enter last minute and we cannot plan all logistics early, so patience is key. Want to pitch in? Reach out to the organizer and, as always, 'just be lekker' about it!" Get ready for an incredible day of action, camaraderie, and thrilling competition. Let's make it memorable!
