Setting up of the race village

The two man tents were set up to day (Friday, 25th March).  The two man tents were setup by the learners of Waveren High School. They setup 1 900 tents. The catering marquees and the Absa marquee were setup earlier in the week.

The Race Village operates independently. Electricity is brought in via generators. Telecoms are brought via towers, Telkom base station, satellite for TV broadcasts, and MTN cell booster.

Even the showers are brought in on trucks. Pictured below are 28 showers and a second truck will arrive on Sunday afternoon.
