Races are run over distances as it was advertised and that it was correctly measured.

Referees are overseeing road races to ensure that, like in any other sport, the competition is fair and that the rules as mentioned above are adhered to.

Organizers do not organize sub-standard events which causes athletes from other provinces not to ever come and run in Mpumalanga again.

The sport is not killed by organizing events on the same day in 2 or 3 towns or cities.

Organizers cannot turn their backs when athletes are hurt on a race.

Organizers stick to the rules of WA and ASA.

Athletes are not ripped off by people who let them pay for a race but do not stick to the promised prize money or do not give them the promised medals.

All athletes in the province can run a safe race.
