Cannonball Run South Africa
The Round Table Cannonball Run, was founded in 2003, is a cryptic clue photo rally with sporting events such as track experiences, gymkhana’s, high speed challenges and out of car activities not forgetting general participation, mayhem & fun. Recently we’ve added a new event, the CBR Midlands Banger Rally.
The next CBR Africa Rally will take place in August 2027, the Banger Rally is in October 2026.
The Round Table Cannonball Run Series of events is broken up as follows;
CBR KZN - Starts in Durban and ends somewhere else usually over a two night period with the briefing the night before
- CBR Africa - "Usually" starts in Johannesburg and ends somewhere else over a three night period with the briefing the night before
- CBR Midlands Banger Rally - starts and ends at Notties Hotel in the Midlands, effectively a four night rally
Recently we’ve added a new event, The CBR Midlands Banger Rally.
All while raising funds for the QuadPara Association of South Africa (QASA) & the Hero Burns Foundation. No matter the car entered for CBR Africa & KZN, provided it is street legal, you can participate in the exciting adventure that is the Africa & KZN versions. Be it a BMW, Fiat, VW, Porsche or Ferrari, you are sure to have a blast among fellow motoring enthusiasts in any road legal vehicle. However in the Banger Rally your car must be just that... a BANGER!
The serious stuff
Cannonball Run events are run according to a strict set of rules and guidelines to ensure the safety of contestants, marshals and spectators. The Cannonball Run is not a race. It is a motoring adventure and tests contestant's skill, general knowledge and teamwork - and the rules of the road are to be obeyed at all times. Drinking and driving is strictly prohibited.
Fundraising
The event has it’s own “police”! The Cannonball Run Highway Idiots on Patrol (CHiPs). Through a fining system and an auction on the final night, funds are raised for the QASA and Hero Burns Foundation.
