Sweat, smiles and birthday celebrations Ruimsig parkrun
Fitness enthusiasts celebrated milestones and birthdays at the Ruimsig parkrun.

After weeks of rainy and gloomy weather, the sun was finally out, and residents of Northside and other surrounding areas took to Ruimsig Stadium on January 18 to participate in their weekly parkrun in hopes of getting in their steps, achieving a milestone or keeping fit.
Parkrun run director on the day, Nadine Crouch, explained that the majority of residents celebrate not only milestones but also birthdays and welcome new members with open arms.

“Mary-Anne Manyati celebrated her 40th birthday with an early morning of fitness just before celebrating her big day with her friends.
“We also had one of our top runners, Thuso Motsaapheko, celebrate his 250th milestone with an outstanding time of 18:57, which is not far from his personal best. He is one of our best runners who always makes others feel welcome when they are new,” Nadine said.
The day was filled with laughter and joy, marking another successful parkrun and gearing up for another fun-filled Saturday morning.
