On September 24, 25 and 26 residents in Bedfordview and beyond will take full advantage of the warming weather to be part of the Boroughs of Bedfordview running race.
The proceeds from the 5km fun run/walk will be donated to Better Bedfordview by the Bedfordview Athletics Club.
Residents Action Group (RAG) chairperson Marina Constas has appealed to residents of all ages and fitness levels to enter the 5km event in the Boroughs of Bedfordview and help RAG’s Better
Bedfordview initiative to do more cleanups and community improvement projects.

In the process, they will also be able to grow their team of cleaners.
“Better Bedfordview strives to keep our area clean and to unite and uplift our community. Our clean-up team consists of previously unemployed men who sweep, tidy, weed, trim, paint, prune, plant, pave and pick up litter; working hard to keep our area beautiful, clean and neat, despite poor municipal service delivery.
“Better Bedfordview depends on funding and support from residents and businesses and voluntary donations from our RAG members. With more support, we can do more, from more clean-up projects and community improvement initiatives to growing our clean-up team.
“Please enter this fun 5km community walk/run and help Better Bedfordview to do more for our community.
“We are thankful for this wonderful fundraising opportunity afforded by Bedfordview Athletics Club, and I hope that everyone who cares about our area and our community will enter the 5km Boroughs of Bedfordview event to support RAG’s Better Bedfordview initiative,” Constas said.
The entry fee for the Boroughs of Bedfordview 5km event is R60, which includes a goodie bag.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions and considerations, this is a hybrid event and there are options for everyone.
Residents can either do the defined route or any other 5km route of their choice over the three days.
The defined route will start and finish at the Bedfordview Country Club (Virgin Active) grounds in Bedfordview.
Those who prefer to do their own 5km route, can submit their time through a link that will be supplied.
