Alberton Dam hosts Athletics’ Cross Country League
It was a sunny day at our local dam with lots of athletes and spectators.
THE Central Gauteng Athletics’ Cross Country League 2018 (eighth league) event was hosted by the Alberton Athletics Club at the Alberton Dam on July 28.
It was a sunny day at our local dam with a number of athletes and spectators. The day’s action started at 11.20am and ended later in the afternoon.
There were people everywhere. Some were warming up before they had to compete, while others enjoyed a cool drink or popsicle in the shade while spectating. Upbeat music was playing, making for a jovial Saturday atmosphere.
Cross country athletes from all over central Gauteng were there to compete for their place at the Central Gauteng Athletics Championships that will be taking place on August 18 at the Kagiso Sports Complex in Krugersdorp.
Athletes varied widely in age. The youngest competed early in the event, while the older and veteran athletes competed later. Boys and girls from under eight years up to men and women older than 60 all had a great time participating in the day’s sports.
Mandla Radebe of Central Gauteng Athletics said: “It’s an exciting day in Alberton. We look forward to see which outstanding athletes will be at the championship event next month.”
