Participants of the 24-hour adults race soldier on in the early hours of 25 April.

Martie Britz of Northview High School said, “Our message was rather turn to sport instead of doing drugs and participating in crime. Five groups comprising eight pupils each participated in the race. One group only had seven pupils.”

According to Britz, 39 pupils faced-up to the rain with ease as there was so much excitement surrounding the event.

Britz added, “A 24-hour continuation of the race was run by adults on the school grounds on 24 and 25 April. Both of the events were highly successful and in all my time teaching at the school I have never seen so much dedication to an event by our pupils.”
