EDITORS NOTES



EDITORS NOTES

There is plenty of reasonably priced accommodation in and around Phalaborwa. You could easily combine the race with a weekend visit to the Kruger Park. Due to mining regulations you must be over 16 years of age to participate. The five kilometre fun run starts at the bottom of the open pit.
