GREAT BRAK RIVER NEWS - A field of 1 640 participants, 78% from outside the Garden Route, took part in the Grootbrak Grabadoo on 31 December - a new record for this popular annual event.
Besides the huge marketing value for Great Bark, the economic contribution to the local economy is around R150 000.
The Great Brak Business Forum enabled local small businesses to sell their wares to the cyclists, runners and supporters alike. One of the stalls was manned by Caws4Paws. The Youth Café served delicious pancakes and they, along with the Mayflower Cricket Club, were instrumental in the recruitment of event officials.
