Thousands took to the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit yesterday for the Discovery 947 Rhythm Run. The most energetic runners pushed themselves to run two laps of the race track, totaling 9km, while those going out to have fun tackled the shorter 4.7kms.
After completing the course, athletes partied the night away at the after party with well-known local DJs.
Sports Editor Nicholas Zaal was there to capture all the action as it unfolded.
