Lace up for Durban’s Santa Run

WITH only two weeks to go until KZN’s newest and freshest 5km experience, it’s as if Christmas itself is just around the corner. The excitement is building as fans gather their tekkies and their Santa suits in preparation for a fun day out with the whole family at the Santa Run, powered by The Hub.

On Sunday 25 November, the fields of the Jonsson Kings Park Stadium will come alive with the sounds of happy children, live music and a whole lot of festive cheer as thousands of Durbanites take part in an exciting 5km route with nine different activities and experiences along the way. Participants will make their way in and around the Kings Park precinct at their own pace – including through the infamous Sharks change room and the tunnel leading participants out onto the fields of dreams, where many of the world’s best rugby players and musicians have performed.

Dive through giant inflatables, jog through a tunnel of lights, stop for refreshments along the way and take a picture with Sharkie or your favourite Sharks player. Then finish in style, and covered in snow, as you cross the 5km finish line, before enjoying all the other attractions on offer at this year’s Santa Run.

The event is open to people of all ages and fitness levels, and is by no means a competitive race. So trade in your racing shoes for your Santa Hat – which you’ll receive in your race pack.

The first 1 000 participants through the gate will also receive a specialised Christmas cracker filled with something exciting. Tickets for The Santa Run are available via webtickets.co.za. For more information visit www.thesantarun.co.za.
