The Happy Wanderers Night Run returns to The Wanderers Golf Club
ILLOVO – The Happy Wanderers Night Run will ensure you have fun on 13 February.
It’s all about having fun at The Happy Wanderers Night Run.
This 5km and 10km event is hosted at the golf course at The Wanderers Golf Club three times per year. Come 13 February, hundreds of community members will again make their way through the ups and downs, twists and turns that characterise the terrain of a golf course.
The event is organised by GTC in association with the golf club and Wanderers Athletics Club. Athletics club secretary, Hilde Harvey said the run always attracted families. “It is a fun run and people always bring their children,” she said.
“Competitive runners come to get their best times and win prizes but the non-serious runners also come for the fun of it.”
Harvey added that a run on a golf course was safe and without the distractions and noise a road had. “It is not as hard on your feet either and you can see the ducks and geese as you run past.”
While Harvey suggested runners bring torches, use their phones or purchase headlamps for the run, she said this was not compulsory and if runners finished quickly it may still be light. If however, runners believe they will take some time to finish then she suggested they have a source of light.
“We do have marshalls at certain points and markers all the way along the route so there is only a small chance of anyone getting lost.”
The run starts at 6.30pm and the R100 entrance fee will also get you a free drink of your choice. Runners can enter at www.entrytime.com or at the venue before the run.
The next night runs at the golf course will likely be held in April and November.
