South African TB Races

Geocachers tend to make things a little more interesting, and one way to make things interesting it to have a Travel Bug or Geocoin race.

The idea is to release a lot of travel bugs and allow them to hop from cache to cache and then keep track of which one gets the most distance or the most points.

South Africa has hosted many TB races over the past few years.

The 1st race was hosted by Africard and was won by Whostops.

The 2nd race was hosted by Globalrat.

The 3rd race was held in 2007 named "There could only be one", and hosted by QFC and Noddy. The race was won by a TB named "Rupert Rex", and is / was owned by Tricky Vicky.

The 4th race ..... (is a mystery at this point)

The 5th race was held in 2009 with the name of "The 2009 Great South African TB Race" and scored by team "cincol", with the web site hosted on sageostats.co.za.

The 6th race was held in 2011 and focused on photos of the photos of the TBs wherever they went, and was hosted by BruceTP on http://www.pantland.co.za/2011Race/Home.html

The 7th race was held in 2012 and the kick-off was the 2012 MEGA event. Scoring was done by BruceTP. There were two difference races, and the rules are available on the event page that started the race.

The 8th race was held in 2014, and only open to people living around the Port Elizabeth area, and was scored by team "Bremar Josrut"
