“We hope to see more Benonians enter our race this year. It’s a community-driven event, hosted and made possible by local people.

“It’s not only a race for runners with big goals such as qualifying for the Two Oceans or Comrades Marathons. It invites runners and walkers of all fitness levels to enjoy the great vibe and camaraderie of participating in a road race,” said organiser Kerry Webb.

Webb explained involvement in such events fosters a sense of pride and gives members an opportunity to engage each other on issues affecting that may be affecting their community.

“While we have members of our club marshalling, we have local businesses hosting water stations, EMPD and CPF support on the route, and CMS providing security. It reflects the spirit of community that still reigns in Benoni despite all the challenges that South Africans face as a society and as individuals.”
