They were invited to run any distance of their choice in their respective areas between 06:00 and 18:00 due to strict covid-19 rules.
The club believes that the challenge is saying that females can live limitlessly, no mountain is too high and nothing is unattainable, hence they joined hands and became a part of the initiative.
“As the Podium, a club that has only been existing for a year and few months, we are excited to have been a part of this initiative. We believed that we have made our mark within the community and the athletics fraternity,” said Theo Rafere, the founder of Podium Athletics Club.
After registering to be a part of the virtual challenge, participants received a running pack which consisted of a Spar t-shirt and a medal.
