After enjoying some massive success in the past, The Amazing Race returns to Hillcrest to take competitors on a journey that is all about fun, creativity and fundraising. Modelled on the original CBS show, The Amazing Race, this fun-filled local event features teams of up to five people (no U18s though) competing in various mental and physical challenges at secret locations in Hillcrest.

Tickets are R250 a person, with R50 of each entry donated to CHOC. Set-off is on Saturday, Feb 25 at 9.30am, and tickets are available on [email protected] or 062 445 5061 (Whatsapp only)
