The Mozma’s challenge awaits
All runners are invited to join the Legogote Villagers Running Club at the White River Rugby Club on Saturday morning (July 18) for the annual Mozma's race.
The club’s signature event has been hosted for decades and participants can challenge themselves with a five-, 10- and 21-kilometre race.
It starts at 07:00 and the course takes runners out among the smallholdings on White River’s outskirts.
It is an out-and-back route with half of it being run on tar and the other half on dirt. It is a challenging event with uphills and downhills all the way and Legogote Mountain is visible at various spots.
The race is well organised with good water points. Grandmasters enjoy free entry. Walkers are welcome. Category winners will receive prizes and all finishers will receive a medal.
This year there is a R1 000 cash prize if the previous record is broken by the first man or woman on the 21 kilometre. Medals will be awarded to all finishers in the five- kilometre event and schoolchildren are encouraged to join.
Entries will be accepted the day before, from 17:00 to 18:30 at the White River Rugby Club. Late entries can be done from 05:00 on the day of the event.
Random finishers of the 10- and 21-kilometre races will receive one of 200 T-shirts.
The club have members from all over the Lowveld, including Hazyview and Graskop. They also have a packed calendar which includes time trials every Thursday evening and park runs on Saturdays.
