Bronkhorstspruit hosted its 198th parkrun on August 10 at the Bronkhorstspruit Dam. The parkrun is a free weekly 5km event for participants of all standards – young and old.
It offers a chance for the local community, regardless of age or gender, to enjoy the outdoors and be physically active.
People are encouraged to run, jog, walk or volunteer.
Every week, the residents grab a post-parkrun coffee at Bronkiesbaai Restaurant or Art Café @ Anton Smit, where they chat with other parkrunners over a cup of tea or coffee and be a part of this community.
