POLOKWANE – More than 600 runners from various running clubs in Polokwane participated in the Floss Run held at the Mitchell House sports grounds on October 5.

The marathon, organised by the Floss Oral Hygiene Practice, celebrated their fifth birthday and comprised of four races (5km, 10km, 15km and 21km) to raise awareness around oral health.

Four dental practices, Polokwane Roadrunners and Energy FM hosted the six water points to keep the runners hydrated and offered them snacks.

Colgate provided 600 runners with a T-shirt, a medal, plenty of toothpaste and a toothbrush.

Natasha van Reede van Oudtshoorn, Chané Alberts and Thalia Pereira thanked participants and invite people to visit their facebook page for more information.
