Run for Rhino

Run for Rhino

Date: 2014-05-02
Calling all ardent athletes, weekend walkers and couch potatoes it is that time of year when temperatures ease off, and you can breathe again perfect for an invigorating walk around iSimangaliso's beautiful forested Lake St Lucia Estuary. The annual iSimangaliso Half Marathon, Fun Run/ Walk powered by USM takes place on 18th May 2014. It caters for absolutely everybody from gogos to toddlers - even babies in strollers are welcome.

Competitive athletes and fitness fanatics know that the race is officially registered with KZN Athletics; for the rest of the crowd, it offers an opportunity to dust off the takkies and get those limbs pumping along with a merry band of fellow runners and walkers, in the cool shady forest of the estuary banks, iGwalagwala Trail and the beach road. Timed two weeks before the Comrades Marathon the 21.1km is an ideal warm up event.

Last year, over 500 runners and walkers of all ages and stages of fitness found the annual iSimangaliso St Lucia Half Marathon event great fun.

Now in its fourth year, the Half Marathon has firmly rooted itself in the Northern KZN and running calendars as a fun family event that allows the serious guys to push the pace, while the less athletic enjoy a more leisurely stroll. The popular Kiddies' Race enables the littlest members to enjoy their own track with individual goodie bags and medals for every participant, in either the 2km or 5km event. Once the activity is over, the fun doesn't end as the St Lucia Ski Boat Club is a perfect venue for lunch and even better for sundowners.

Following last year's major sponsorship of the event, Umfolozi Sugar Mill (USM)has once again supported the event in the most generous way, along with Engen contributing substantially, and Wetlands Water and Liquor City St Lucia keeping runners hydrated with water and coke.

The St Lucia Ratepayers have drummed up excellent support from the local businesses and tourism operators offering discounted accommodation and numerous lucky draw prizes.

Zululand Multisports Club will do the pre-entries, registration and race timing, ensuring a professional event. In order to pre-register for the iSimangaliso St Lucia Half Marathon, Fun Run/Walk powered by USM, please contact Igna on 035-7533974 or zmsc@telkomsa.net.
