Returning to the serene Eikenhof Dam (Elgin Grabouw Country Club) on Sunday, 17 February 2019, the 5th<\/sup> annual Sanlam Cape Mile brought to you by Sanlam Investments features a fun 500m team relay <\/strong>category (four swimmers per team) that guarantees to be the source of much excitement.<\/p>\n

One of the first teams to enter, Team Kannemeyer will comprise three brothers and a sister-in-law.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve all taken part in various triathlons as individual entrants.\u00a0 The Sanlam Cape Mile is the only big Mile race in the Western Cape that allows individual and team entries,\u201d says Jacques Kannemeyer.\u00a0 \u201cWe are looking forward to participating as a family.\u00a0 The team relay definitely adds an additional fun element to the event.\u00a0 Apart from all the jokes flying around between the extended family, the team entry gives us a great opportunity to work towards\u00a0a common goal while on the day we will get to enjoy the event together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team element adds more fun, while the shorter 500m distance is definitely more appealing.\u00a0 I\u2019m looking forward to winning the race,\u201d says Nicole Kannemeyer.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Werner Kannemeyer is looking forward to the challenge of the Sanlam Cape Mile.\u00a0 \u201cThis will be the first time that I participate in the Sanlam Cape Mile.\u00a0 The team element is great as it allows for some family team building.\u00a0\u00a0 My main goal is to make it to the finish.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJacques is the reason that we entered the Sanlam Cape Mile,\u201d says Andre Kannemeyer.\u00a0 \u201cHe is the only team member that has participated at the event in the past.\u00a0 I agree with Werner, my goal is also to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Husband and with duo, Gunter and Lee-Anne Richter will team up with friends, Paul Hodgson and Sue Hatton in the Sanlam Cape Mile\u2019s 500m team relay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur reason for entering the Sanlam Cape Mile is two-fold,\u201d says Gunter Richter.\u00a0 \u201cWe wanted to do an open water swim and have a challenge to get fit.\u00a0 This will be the first time that I participate in the event.\u00a0 We have yet to confirm who our strongest swimmer is and have not yet decided on the swim sequence.\u00a0 Our goal is to finish the swim while having a fun day out doing something different.\u201d<\/p>\n
