Great turnout at Scottburgh half marathon
Amanzimtoti Athletic Club won the team prize with the most entries from one club and was followed closely by South Coast Striders who used Scottburgh's race as its club champs.
The iconic half marathon and 10k race was hosted by Scottburgh Athletic Club which saw almost 400 participants making it a huge success last Sunday.
The club’s committee worked tirelessly for many weeks to ensure smooth sailing on the day and their hard work paid off, as it was truly a memorable day for both athletes and their supporters, as well as local community members who spectated.
Athletes began and finished the race at Scottburgh Golf Club. The 10k participants ran to and turned before Crocworld Conservation Centre while the others went all the way to Halfway Toyota Malanda, up to the view point and back.
