Runners get ready for the Alan Robb Race
Germiston Callies Harriers’ annual Alan Robb Race will take to the streets of Germiston on April 7.
It is time once again for runners to brave the chilly Germiston mornings and tackle the annual Alan Robb Race.
The race, formerly known as the Legends Race, includes a 15km and a 32km race and will start and end at the Germiston Stadium on April 7.
The event is held annually by Germiston Callies Harriers in honour of veteran member Alan Robb, who won four Comrades Marathons in Callies colours.
Runners will hit the streets at 6.30am.
In keeping with tradition, the day will also host a 5km fun run, which aims to raise funds for a worthy charity.
This event will kick-off at 7am, after the main race has begun.
The charity is yet to be announced.
