Beloved marathon athlete and Parkrun SA CEO, Bruce Fordy, recently visited the Brakpan Parkrun.

The weekly event at the Brakpan Indoor Sports Centre grounds, where residents do their 5km run for the week, buzzed with excitement at the special visit.

In a short video clip with Eddie Botes, the pastor at the Christian Family Church Brakpan and a warrant officer with the Brakpan SAPS, Bruce says there are only two weekly commitments to always keep – parkrun on Saturdays and church on Sundays.

Those who want to volunteer at the parkrun can email event organiser Gerrit van Moerkerken at brakpan@parkrun.com
