Honeydew CPF Fun Run raises spirits and funds

The playful race made a great impact on the residents.

The Honeydew Community Police Forum (CPF) hosted a successful 5km Fun Run and Walk on Sunday, October 27, at Weltevreden Park Primary School.

The event brought together community members of all ages and fitness levels for a morning of fun, fitness, and food – all while supporting a great cause.

The fun run saw participants running, walking and even laughing their way through the greenbelt to the finish line. From serious athletes to families looking for some outdoor fun, the event offered something for everyone. Some participants added to the excitement by showing up in creative costumes, with honeybee and tutu-themed attire stealing the show. Dogs on leads joined their owners for the race.

The run was held to raise funds for the Honeydew CPF, which plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and security of the community. All proceeds will help strengthen the CPF’s ongoing efforts to combat crime and promote safety initiatives.

The Honeydew CPF extended its gratitude to all participants, volunteers, and sponsors who made the event a success.
