Cross country athletes kick up dust at season opener
The Saturday morning 25km long run was well supported by members as well as other clubs.
LAST Saturday was the first leg of this year’s cross country season which started at Westridge Tennis Stadium.
The well organised event was hosted by Savages AC and Run Walk For Life (RWFL) Toti’s members did well.
Warren Gibson came 10th in his age group, in a time of 38 minutes for 8km and Philani Mngidi came 12th in his group with 53 minutes for 12km. They kept the RWFL flag flying high.
The Saturday morning 25km long run was well supported by members as well as other clubs. Thank you to everyone who participated.
Well done to the club’s members who completed the Ixopo 21.1km.
The Nawrattel family went on a family visit to Pretoria and did RWFL proud. Dad Matthys and daughter Bianca tackled a 10km race and mom Liesl and daughter Anja completed a 5km run walk. Well done on representing RWFL.
