All-Toti affair among women in Chatsworth race
Those that have not tried our Park run are encouraged to do so, at no cost all you have to do log on www.parkrun.co.za
AFTER a week of solid training, Run Walk For Life (RWFL) members showed on Saturday that keeping up with the pace really pays off.
At 5am they started with a 20km training run from the school, and on completion, they went down to the beach for the park run, in which they all fared really well.
After a short rest, they all went to Chatsworth Stadium on Saturday afternoon to support the local disability run, to raise funds for local charities.
There was a team and individual event. In the individual event RWFL Toti’s Lizette Botha and Val Opperman were first and second, and Carol Janssens Raasch of Amanzimtoti AC was third in an all-Amanzimtoti affair. Well done.
The team relay event saw three members in a team each do a 4km run. Once again the Toti women came to the party, winning their event. Well done to the same team that took the first three places in the individual race. The men also participated. Well done to Warren, Matthys and Edmund.
