EDITORS NOTES
The Greatest Train Race is an annual community project which is organised by three Mpumalanga Rotary Clubs. Their main objectives are to promote community involvement and team spirit, and to create a day of fun for all participants, including underprivileged children and senior citizens. Funds generated are used for various annually identified local community projects. Businesses are encouraged to challenge competitors and to support less-affluent schools. Walkers are welcome on the 15 kilometre route. As a business you may enter teams to compete in the relay as part of your team building.
No seconding is allowed. Supporters can travel on the train to the finish in Middelburg. The train returns to Witbank/eMalahleni at 13h00. Tent sites, to be set up as courtesy facilities at the finish, are available for hire by companies and organisations.
