The 2009 RattRace was, as ever, a resounding success. With the support of SATIB, this year’s main sponsor, the RattRace went off without a hitch and R42,806 was raised in support of the David Rattray Foundation.

The race was won by Craig Carter in 1 hour exactly. He was heavily fined afterwards, not only for winning, but also for being so confident of victory that he made a few cell phone calls along the way. He won three nights for two at Umngazi River Bungalows.
Sixteen local Zulus rode this year; unfortunately two suffered mechanical failure. The first Zulu home was Thokozozi Mkhize who came in sixth with an excellent time of 1 hour and 13 minutes. He won this year’s race on the bicycle he won last year; he’s gathering quite a collection!

The board members of the David Rattray Foundation would like to thank all those who took part, as well as SATIB for their generous sponsorship of the event. A huge amount of fun was had by us all, but more importantly, a fantastic sum was raised which will go a long way in supporting the Foundation’s efforts in the area.
