This year’s 702 walk the talk is challenging the participants to put their money where their mouth is.
All entrants are encouraged to walk for a charity or cause in the spirit of Lead SA with the 5km, 8km and 15km routes.
“We believe that there is a need for South Africans to unite and remind ourselves what we can achieve when we stand together,” said 702 station manager, Pheladi Gwangwa.
This year’s walkers are being urged to join us and bring hope to each other. “We can make a difference as a collective in the spirit of Lead SA”
On 26 July, thousands of family members, friends, colleagues, and their dogs, will step up to the challenge at Mark’s Park Sports Club in Emmarentia – this time for a good cause.
