The Stella Royal 25km road race will be on 21 March.
STELLA Athletics Club will host its annual Stella Royal 25km and 10km road race on Wednesday, 21 March.
This race has been contested annually since 1975 with the winners over the years generally being international or provincial athletes. Stella Royal is regularly voted the best in its class in KZN and the club is working extremely hard to make it the premier race in KZN. Historically more than 1 800 athletes attend the event.
The race is an undulating course run through the suburbs of Glenwood and Umbilo. There is a 10km run and walk as well as a 25km race for those wanting a longer run. The club is inviting people from the community to take on the race this year.
