Good times for RWFL athletes at weekend women’s race
Lizette will be doing the second leg of the triple challenge this week, that is the Longest Day event, 12 hours around a soccer pitch at Collegians Club in Pietermaritzburg.
THIS past Sunday Run Walk For Life (RWFL) Toti’s women athletes and some mixed up men were on the starting line of the ever-popular Totalsports women’s 10km and 5km run/walk.
This was all in support of the Pink Drive in aid of breast and prostate cancer.
They are doing a great job creating awareness and assisting people with cancer.
The runners and walkers all turned in good times. Well done to all. Lizette Botha claimed second prize in her age category – it seems to be a habit seeing her on the podium.
