Bapsfontein hosted its weekly parkrun on January 20, which began at the Bapsfontein Hotel at 08:00.
The Bapsfontein parkrun promises to be a fun, free event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone. It is also a pet-friendly event where participants can bring their dogs to join the fun.
The event takes place every Saturday morning at 08:00 on the premises of the Bapsfontein Hotel, 10 Wolmarans Street, Nest Park, Ext 1.
According to the event’s Facebook page, the route is anti-clockwise around the inside fenced parameters of the Bapsfontein Hotel grounds with a loop in the middle and returning clockwise along the perimeter to finish at the start.
