Running and walking to raise funds
Runners and the walkers ran the same route while others ran the five kilometres and others ran the 10 kilometres.
They came from all the corners of the city of eMalahleni to run in the ninth eMalahleni City Race.
The race took place from Emrabulweni Park on Saturday, September 3. This was a fun race which leads as a beginner’s race because it was open for anyone to run or walk, and after that there was aerobics for the runners and walkers to stretch up.
Runners and the walkers ran the same route while others ran the five kilometres and others ran the 10 kilometres. The walkers walk all the way from the start to the finish.
There were older runners and young children taking part in the race.
Even though the race was not well supported, the people who attended had a good spring day enjoyment.
Shaun DaCamara was the winner of the race and was awarded a R200 prize.
“We are raising funds to buy sports equipment for amateur teams and athletes. Registration is R100 for every participant and they will get a medal in completion of the race run,” said Trevor Dube of Sports Wrap, organiser of the race.
Dube thanked all the participants and the sponsors of the race and hopefully next time it will be bigger.
