Call to support park run

EDITOR – People of Toti why are you not supporting Toti park run?

It is a free 5km run/walk (+-3km along the promenade and +-2km along the shoreline).

Anyone can join in the ‘fun’ – old, young, dogs, I’ve never seen any cats.

But really everybody is welcome, no special kit is required and granny and granddad, babies can be carried or pushed in a chair – a bit tricky on the sand.

As an old Toti runner now living Johannesburg South, I am used to over 1,000 participants during summer and over 500 when it’s three degrees or less during winter at the two park runs I use.

Toti is currently only getting about 90 people of all ages, so there is plenty of room for more.

Park run started in the UK but is now international. Bruce Fordyce brought it to SA and there are now over 40 park runs in SA.

If it is good enough for Bruce, it’s good enough for me.

It starts on the promenade near the Spur every Saturday at 8am. To get your results register at www.parkrun.co.za or get there on Saturday and you will be welcomed and helped to get going.

So people of Toti, I’ll see you all this Saturday. Come and enjoy the fun.
