Jeppe High School for Girls is calling on the community to lace up their takkies and join the annual Run for a Cause on the school’s lower grounds on August 16.

This year’s event carries a heartfelt message: kindness fuels your energy.

“Every step is in support of the people and organisations that matter most,” said Sadé Marion from the school’s marketing team. “Whether you’re walking with family or running the full route, you’re part of something bigger.”

The 5km run or walk is open to all, and participants are encouraged to dedicate their efforts to a cause close to their hearts. “When we move with kindness, we move with purpose,” added Marion.

After crossing the finish line, runners and supporters can look forward to the Grade 9 Market Day, a vibrant showcase of young entrepreneurship, school spirit, and community fun.

Tickets are R70 and can be purchased online via Quicket (Site admin fees apply).
