The Roodepoort Athletics Club is calling all athletes, running enthusiasts and fitness fans to lace up their running sneakers and join them for their highly anticipated race.
The Northgate Road Race is set to take place on July 21 and has been a tradition in the club’s calendar for over a decade. It is set to attract runners from across Gauteng to participate in a variety of distances, from 5km to 10km.
According to Conrad de Buys, chairperson of the Roodepoort Athletics Club, this race has become a beloved tradition for the club’s family and all runners of all ages, and it provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience their vibrant family while challenging themselves in the scenic surroundings.
“The idea of our event is to attract family and friends within the community and to promote the importance of staying fit during the cold months. After the event, one will be able to enjoy a hot cup of coffee as well as something to eat from the food vendors,” he said.
The race promises a thrilling competition as every runner’s time will be accurately recorded. Finishers will receive medals and top performers will get exciting prices.
Conrad also stated that the race will feature post-race festivities, entertainment and activities for children. General enquiries can be made at 082 770 1143 and entries are open online at www.peaktiming.co.za.
