The Lions Bed Race is an annual event for the Nelspruit Lions Club. This year our main sponsor is Hi-Q Nelspruit.
The bed race is marketed as a corporate event and encourage companies to get involved as a team building exercise. At the same time the companies are giving something back to the community of NELSPRUIT and surrounding areas.
The first bed race took place in 2004 and the funds raised in that year were used to kick start the Nelspruit Hospice. The race then took place again in 2007 and has continued each year since then. Since the inception of the Bed Race in 2007 we have donated the proceeds to various local charity organizations and last year we donated R40 000.This year the proceeds will go to Dasha School and other local charity organisations.
The event takes place this year on Saturday morning 20 August 2016 and will be taking place at I’langa Mall on the top open parking area. The meeting point for teams will be outside Mugg and Bean in the car park.
The beds will be arriving from 7:30. Judging for the best dressed bed takes place at 8:00am.
The race is planned to start at 8:30/9:00am.
It is never too late to enter a bed or to donate a prize for the race, and anyone who would like to participate can contact our coordinator Mike Graham 082 312 2400.
We invite all Nelspruiters to come to I’langa Mall on Saturday 20th August and enjoy the festivities. We will be selling boerewors rolls, pancakes and cold drinks.
We would also like to take this opportunity in thanking Hanlie Lombaard and the I’langa Mall management as well as all the tenants for helping to make this event a success.
