The 12 toy enthusiasts competed in the final round of the competition where each contestant had 60 seconds to grab as many of their favourite toy picks as possible. The contestants managed to pile up their trolleys in record time and each scooped up toys with the combined value of R15,000.

The first leg of the sprint began in Cape Town at the Toys “R” Us store in Canal Walk on Wednesday 5th July 2017. A week later, Chad Fanaroff sprinted through the Boksburg Toys “R” Us store.

They completed the challenge after 5FM radio DJ, Sureshnie Rider sprinted through the aisles to benefit the charity she supports – Angel Wings Care Centre in Benoni.

The final leg was held at the Toys “R” Us store in Gateway in KwaZulu-Natal on Wednesday 19th July 2017.

“After all, making kids toy dreams a reality and bringing imagination to life is exactly what Toys “R” Us stands for. We can’t wait to see who our ultimate winner will be.”

Neal Fanaroff, Chad’s father said, “It has always been a dream of his to enter the toy sprint, he was very keen on entering.”
