Youth Day Challenge attracts strong support
Participants were eager to get back on the road after a two-year break
Loskop Gijimas Athletics Club is an initiative that grooms young athletes and teaches them life’s guiding principles. The aim of the club is for each and every child in the community to ‘unleash their best’. While the core of the initiative is all about running the team, Loskop Gijimas Athletics Club is also a home for people from all walks of life.
After two years of not hosting the annual Youth Day Challenge due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we had the courage and support to do so this year due to the fact that all the regulations have eased.
There was uncertainty and challenges, and the two-year gap took a toll on the community and everyone who supports the race and the initiative.
However, the community and people from other towns showed great support and appreciation in 2022. The race was a success when compared to the first race, where 15 people took part. Now we have managed to have over 200 people supporting.

The Youth Day Challenge was run on June 16 in Loskop and wonderfully supported by the community and runners from various towns.
We hope that participating in this event leaves the community of Loskop and the future leaders of this country inspired, motivated, driven and encouraged to reach for the stars.
‘We run because we are able.’
We would like to thank all the sponsors who contributed to the success of the Youth Day Challenge.
Loskop Gijimas would also like to thank the athletes for making this day a success.
