To celebrate Tourism Month in September Makana Tourism organised its annual Amazing Chase, seeing 33 participants in 12 teams discover fascinating facts about Grahamstown while competing for exciting prizes.

To celebrate Tourism Month in September Makana Tourism organised its annual Amazing Chase, seeing 33 participants in 12 teams discover fascinating facts about Grahamstown while competing for exciting prizes.

“Contestants have to figure out clues about Grahamstown, its landmarks and history. It’s a fun morning’s outing for the whole family and contestants are encouraged to walk or run the route rather than to drive or cycle it,” said Sue Waugh, Makana Tourism director.

The three teams that completed the Chase were Road Runner (first in the car category), Shiloh and the Bodyguards and Twin Stars (first and second respectively in the walk/run category) who all won cash prizes for their tremendous efforts.

Makana councillor Brian Jackson presided over the prize-giving ceremony and thanked the generosity of the local sponsors, the sterling efforts of the participants and members of the Fingo Festival who set up an open mic session for local musicians on Church Square.

Waugh also thanked the marshals, prize organisers and the Farmer’s Market, Bargain Books and the Grahamstown Bowling Club for organising and managing three tasks in the Chase.

“Based on the feedback received from this year’s Chase, the route will be slightly shorter with more physical activities and will be restricted to walking and running only,” Waugh said. “I am looking forward to an even bigger Chase in 2013.”
