The biggest VW Club event of the year has unfortunately come to an end.
In terms of attendance this was one of the smallest, yet intimate DubRuns to date. A great variety of people joined, from Mpumalanga, Gauteng, Free State, KZN and North West, so 5 out of 9 province representation is definitely not a bad turnout.
Tape up was hosted by one of our sponsors, The Glen Volkswagen, who greeted us with a taped up Polo GTI done by the staff at the Glen VW and handed over to our Chairman to drive down to Ballito with. The Tape up was the least attended we have seen to date but was still great fun, with some of our sponsors, Showtime Magazine, Autotechlight, Cum Laude Events, Hitman Performance and NF Additives coming to greet us before our great Trek.
Friday morning we all met at the Heidelberg Petroport as per our tradition where we then welcomed the attendees before departing at 6h15. The drive was amazing with no hiccups, besides one broken car seat in the Grandpa Jetta, and keeping a constant, legal speed all the way to our usual Bergview stop where our Free State buddies were waiting for us in their epic Halloween themed cars.
The Committee greeted everyone and after a quick fuel up for the people and their cars, the convoy continued as long as it could until everyone took their respective offramps to their accommodation.
The weather was all over the place but it was still fantastic. On Saturday mother nature could not decide what she wanted with drizzle coming and going throughout the day, and yet we still had committed Dubrunners taping up their cars no matter the conditions.
Awards were handed out, and boy was there a lot! The judges had a hard time deciding on who our top tapers were, with the initial plan of only having 4 winners, we decided there were just too many awesome participants the prizes were distributed into 6 categories which saw 11 Dubrunners walking home with some awesome prizes.
Sunday saw us on a very relaxing drive from Ballito Lifestyle Centre to Vovo Telo on Florida Road in Durban where there was a small enough group that we could all sit at one table.
The 3 Committee members who attended and ran the DubRun event, Mo, Chris and Jonno, had an amazing time on DubRun and hope that all attendees enjoyed it just as much! We hope to see you all on DubRun 2k22 with even bigger and better tape ups!
