Second Women’s Day Race exceeds expectations

Well over 1 000 athletes braved the dark and cold winter’s morning when they lined up for the start of the second annual Women’s Day Race hosted by Muteo Consulting and Mzansi Athletics Club on Saturday.
“The attendance was great and beyond our expectations as athletes gathered to honour women in South Africa. We owe the continuous growth and success of the event to all social runners as well as clubs from across the province,” Mzansi chairperson Richard Rambiyana said.
He added that planning for next year’s race had been tabled already and that runners should keep their diaries open for 9 August 2020. He invited corporates, government and individuals to take hands to ensure the success of next year’s race.
