Look, guys, you know by now that I’m taking part in the Continental #Run2Stop challenge from 4 to 8 November. What you might not have caught was the fact that Pierre Spies is on my team. You can get up to speed with that, here.

Anyway, what I really wanted to talk to you about was winning. Specifically, winning a trip to the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ in Brazil, AND a ThinkPad Tablet. It’s so easy. Lean in now.

1. Go to Continental’s Facebook page

2. Sign up to the Virtual Race – you’ll see it there on their Facebook page, where you should be if you can follow instructions.

3. Invite three awesome friends (if they’re average friends, you’re less likely to win) to be a part of your team and come up with a team name. But put some effort into it – nothing stupid or crap. A frigging dream sporting holiday is on the line here, people. Work for something for once in your life, please.

4. Once your friends accept their invitations, you need to monitor the Continental Facebook page daily during the #Run2Stop Challenge (4 to 8 November 2013). This virtual race runs in conjunction with the actual race. Get it?

5. Someone on your team – it can be you OR a team mate – need to answer the four random daily questions correctly. AND! If you’re the first team to answer correctly on a given day, you’ll get bonus points.

6. Last step: Keep an eye on your inbox to find out if you and your mates will be packing your bags for a South American adventure to the 2014 FIFA World Cup™!

Obviously there is more. If you register your team in the virtual race this week, one team member will be randomly drawn to win a ThinkPad Tablet 2, valued at R8,400. Not to be sniffed at, kids. Here’s what said gadget looks like:

It has a 10.1” (no relation) screen, HD display resolution, a Windows 8 operating system, and up to 10 hours of battery life. Quite mean.
