Pub run is back thanks to high demand

POLOKWANE – Funny hairstyles and wigs, strange clothes and lots of laughter were all part of the Polokwane Athletic Club (PAC) Pub Run last Wednesday.

After a two year lay-off the popular pub run has returned thanks to high demand. The event started at the PAC clubhouse and took the form of a 3 km to 4 km run or walk with participants dressed up as hilariously as possible. Participants had to reach various waterpoints where they had to have a drink of their choice – be it alcoholic or not – before they continued on to the next waterpoint.

Each waterpoint was about a kilometre apart and runners could spend 10 to 15 minutes at each point. The even was ideal, providing a chance to not only get some exercise, but also socialise.
