The Boksburg Athletic Club invites runners of all fitness levels and community members who want to run their first road race to enter the Colgate Race on May 4 at Boksburg Stadium.
The club is also looking for volunteers to help out at the various water stations and marshaling points along the race route, as well as inside the stadium.
The race includes the main 32km race, a double lapper around Boksburg South, Parkrand, CBD and parts of Boksburg East, as well as the 15km and 5km fun run.
Twins Carol and Cobie Smith clinched first and second place in the women’s race while Clifford Malatjie clocked 01:50:06 to win the men’s race at last year’s event.
Qhubeka AC’s Kabelo Mwahla and Gillian Farquharson, formerly of Nedbank Running Club, won the men’s and women’s 15km events, while Silas Matlou and Trinity Henning clinched the 5km bragging rights.
The entry fee for the 32km is R350 and R250 for the 15km. To run the 5km race, you will pay R130 and the first 7 000 entrants will receive goodie bags and a T-shirt.
The first 3 000 finishers in the 32km and 15km will receive medals. To enter, go to www.colgaterace.co.za or email [email protected] for more info.
