FOREST TOWN – The popular event will see 8 000 runners hit the streets on 15 September.
Residents of Parkwood, Saxonwold and Forest Town should be aware of the Rockies Gerald Fox Memorial Race taking place on 15 September from the Johannesburg Zoo.
The 10km and 21.1km event begins at the corner of Upper Park Drive and Ettrick Road and finishes at the Johannesburg Zoo. Both these races are already sold out. These events both begin at 7am.
There are still entries available for the 5km event which begins at the Zoo Lake Sports Club at 7.10am and will finish at the Johannesburg Zoo.
Chair of the Rocky Road Runners Matodzi Tshidzumba said, “There will be 8 000 runners on the streets of Parkwood, Saxonwold and Forest Town between 5am and 11am.”

Rockies have arranged a shuttle bus from the Zoo Lake Sports Club and Johannesburg Zoo to transport runners every 15 minutes.
