The countdown to the exciting event has officially begun and participants are once again reminded that the Rising Sun Chatsworth Freedom Marathon is scheduled to take place on Sunday, April 22 at the Chatsworth Stadium from 5:30am.

As the Rising Sun Chatsworth Freedom Marathon draws closer, the community is being encouraged to the fullest to get their running shoes ready and take on the 10km race, which is set to be an exciting segment of the event, that not only promotes fitness and healthy lifestyles, but also social cohesion and unanimity.

The countdown to the exciting event has officially begun and participants are once again reminded that the Rising Sun Chatsworth Freedom Marathon is scheduled to take place on Sunday, April 22 at the Chatsworth Stadium from 5:30am.

The early morning start is ideal for participants to breathe in the fresh air and prepare themselves for an exhilarating day.

As always, incorporated in this marathon is the 52km race (a Comrades qualifier), the 21km race and not forgetting the 10km race, which organisers have dubbed the ‘massive draw card’.

It is hoped that unlicensed runners, young and old alike, will participate in the 10km race and prove that they can take control of their health and fitness. Those interested in taking on the 10km will be delighted to know that prize money of R2, 500 will be presented to the winner.

“The 10km race is such an exciting segment and we are looking forward to seeing residents come through in their numbers to register. Considering that the general public will be attempting the 10km race, we have ensured that the route is both accommodating and pleasant. There is no better way to spend your Sunday morning,” proudly said officials of the Rising Sun Chatsworth Athletic Club.

In addition to this, all participants in this race will be presented with special T-shirts.  As if this isn’t enough, one lucky runner will also stand a chance to win a R10, 000 furniture voucher, with compliments of Kitchen Studio.

The winner will be selected at a lucky draw. It is often said that being healthy or fit isn’t a fad or a trend, but rather a lifestyle and officials and members of the Rising Sun Chatsworth Athletic Club truly abide by these words daily and are always looking for ways to encourage the community to change their mindset.

Judging from the success of last year’s marathon, it is evident that the 2018 event will definitely yield positive results once again.
