OneMovement’s Junior Eliminator Series saw 322 high school students from schools in the Western Cape, KZN and Gauteng race it out in 2015. The increasingly popular series makes use of the cross-country eliminator format and the scholars (which is in fact the correct term for a school pupil – rather than the modern and terribly incorrect: learner) had the chance to race for great prizes, including cash, in three races per province. In total a massive R270 000 in cash and prizes were won, with students winning custom kit from Enjoy Fitness and Rayne Cameras for their schools, plus cash and gear from Fox Racing, Skullcandy and OGIO for themselves.
The best prize was left until last however. Every single entrant, from the 79 schools and 5 development academies who took part in the 2015 series, was placed in a draw to win a Trek Superfly FS 29er, valued at R75 000. The very lucky winner was Alexander Schliemann from Paul Roos Gymnasium – even we’re a little jealous!
OneMovement are currently planning the 2016 Junior Eliminator Series, so keep an eye on www.onemovement.co.za for regular updates of the race venues for next year, and more importantly, the prizes which they’ll have in store.
