Over 100 runners join in breast cancer awareness run in Meyersdal

Residents of Meyersdal and surrounding areas took to the streets to run for a breast cancer awareness campaign.

Plato Coffee in the Blue Crane Centre saw dozens gather at 04:45 to brave the early morning weather for a run.

The social run was for everyone, regardless of fitness level.

More than 100 runners could choose to either run 4 km, 6 km, or 10 km, and the not-so-fit had the option of walking.

To show their support for those living with breast cancer, runners were asked to wear pink.

Raising cancer awareness was the main theme of the run, but it was also aimed at attracting more runners to get Joburg South residents active and fit.
