You know what would be epic? If the Durban guys arrange an event. A proper event, not a meet up. I would not mind paying a fee if im able to take my car and run some times, or even a show n shine where trophies are handed to winners, etc...
Then, the Gauteng guys can drive down, as mentioned. This would give us a reason to do the trip. Just imagine, 2 regions together at one event.
I would suggest the sleep over point, to be close to the event location. Or, within a 50km radius so we could possibly have a joint run with the region to the location. That will be 2 epic "breakfast runs"...
At the event, we could have a Gauteng vs Durban. Kick off and have fun.
EPIC
