Nelson Mandela Bay TRAIN RACE

he Nelson Mandela Bay Train Race is a fun social event which we hope will grow into the Metro's largest community program and comprises of a fun relay race against a Metro Train along the route between Port Elizabeth station and Uitenhage station. Corporate, social, club and school relay teams comprising of 5 runners and 1 mountain bike cyclist will get to participate in this community driven event which is open to all members of the public interested in contributing to the wellbeing of our community and who are fit for the challenge. 

As with most of our Zsports events, the Train Race will have a festive atmosphere, camaraderie and healthy fun where teams are encouraged to dress up on race day and bring the whole company out in support of this event.

Ride the Train

Individuals from the community, members of the public, sponsors representatives and VIP's will be given the opportunity to experience the Nelson Mandela Bay Train Race from inside the train that is competing against the teams - for some a once in a lifetime experience. 

Passenger tickets on the race train are sold for just R50 per person with around 60 seats per coach available. Tickets will be in the form of a wrist band which must be worn at all times from when you arrive at the station until you leave again. 

Boarding will be on Sunday 2nd August from 7.30am and train will leave at 9am SHARP. The trip to Uitenhage will take just under 2 hours with a short stop-over refreshment break at Redhouse Station. The train will then return again immediately after prize giving. We anticipate the departure time to be just before 2pm and the return trip will take around 40 minutes. Limited parking will be available at the PE Station so please try and car pool for this event.
