Put on your takkies and run 10km in aid of Howick Hospice at this year's "Mandela Day Marathon".
Howick Hospice has been nominated as one of the charities to benefit from The Mandela Day Marathon which takes place on the 25th August 2013.
There are two options available, 10km or 42.2km. This 42.2km marathon reflects, in a symbolic way, the gruelling marathon that Baba Mandela had to "run" to lay the foundation for the new democratic ethos that we in South Africa are currently enjoying. This race is a way for us to rekindle our special relationship with the great icon who is the Father of the Nation.
Please support this initiative by running 10km (or 42.2km for the more advanced athlete) for a very worthy cause. The 10km race will start at 7am from the Howick Stadium and finish at The Mandela Capture Site. The cost per entry is R75 and R15 for a temporary license. This is a pre-entry event and no entries will be accepted on race day. To enter, log onto www.mandelamarathon.co.za or contact Mel at Howick Hospice on 033 330 5257. The closing date to enter is the 31st July 2013, however the date has been extended for runners running in aid of charity. First 30 entrants will receive a FREE Howick Hospice running shirt to compete in. Please send us your proof of entry to secure your shirt.
We really hope you will join in and take on this 10km challenge for Howick Hospice!!
