#SaveRhinos: enter Insimbi’s Run For a Cause virtual race

The Insimbi Legacy Projects, a NPO focusing on conservation, is calling on avid runners and animal lovers to participate in its Run For a Cause virtual event.

Participants from all over the country can enter the virtual race at www.insimbilegacyprojects.co.za to run, walk, jog or cycle for five or 10km from any chosen location.

Entry fees are R100. Members of the public can also purchase a virtual race bundle for R275, which includes an entry ticket, a green Insimbi T-shirt and medal.

Insimbi’s virtual race is part of a series that will be held on a monthly basis with the aim of raising funds for rhino fodder and the anti-poaching unit.

The idea was conceived by local businesswoman and ambassador of the Insimbi Legacy Projects Sharon Janse van Rensburg after the hard lockdown had a dire impact on the organisation’s finances.

“This event is a fun way to keep you motivated, fit and healthy. It also allows you, friends and family to take part in contributing and protecting our rhino. Furthermore, it’s a good way to create awareness around protecting rhinos for the future generation,” said the ambassador.

Carmela Lattanzi started the Insimbi Legacy Projects to involve the public in the fight against poaching after one of her widely admired rhinos, Insimbi, was killed in 2014.
