The Moving Ahead Development Agency (Mada) funded by The Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation will host a virtual road run with three distance options – 10km, 21km and 45km.
Mada’s CEO Tshepo Mokoena is well-pleased with the great response of entries to date, “We believe that having a purpose to run is key to the success of this race. We’re calling on those who want to show their support and love of those who’ve conquered Covid-19 to run wherever you are, according to your chosen route and your chosen time.
“Let us celebrate those who are still with us.”
Gauteng MEC for Sport, Arts, Culture, and Recreation Mbali Hlophe has alluded to the significance of the race.
“The race takes place during March when the country commemorates the 61st anniversary of Human Rights Day, a sad moment on which 69 people lost their lives to the indignity of apartheid.
“We believe we can use the race to remember the loss of life but also to rise-up together in fighting Covid-19. Our united success over the pandemic will help the continued guarantee of everyone’s human rights and dignity,” said Hlophe.
