On April 13, The Birchwood Hotel and OR Tambo Conference Centre will host the fourth annual Birchwood Cross the Line Half-Marathon.
Building on the success of last year’s race, which attracted over 2 000 runners, The Birchwood Athletics Club will be introducing a new route and, once again, great prizes can to be won from The Birchwood and the event sponsors.
Whether you’re a leisurely runner or a trained athlete, the event caters for the whole family, with options of a 5km, 10km and 21.1km route available.
As an added incentive, break the current record for the 21.1km route and The Birchwood will double the prize money.
