The Hezekiel Sepeng Invitational will open with the Kids Athletics Program on Monday, 6 April which is designed for children aged 6–12 years. Kids will get the opportunity, under the guidance of top athletes and coaches from NW Project 350, to learn more on the fundamentals of athletics. This will take place at the NWU McArthur Athletics Stadium from 15:00-16:00.

Beyond the technical skills, the focus will also fall on building discipline, confidence and a winning mindset.

This initiative reflects the legacy of Hezekiel Sepeng, Olympic Games silver medalist and the first black South African to win an Olympic medal, inspiring the next generation of athletes.
