Following the success of the initial Legacy Run last year, Oasis Preparatory School is again hosting the event at Piggly Wiggly in the midlands on June 16th 2017. This year’s event features a 2km walk/run as well as a 5km walk/run. Together with Village Talk, Piggly Wiggly and other generous sponsors Oasis Prep is again using this community family initiative as a fundraiser to support ongoing building projects as well as future bursaries at the school. 2016’s event saw some 250 runners join the 5km event and expectations are that this number will double for 2017 with the addition of the 2km walk making the event accessible to Granny and Grandpa too.
Core to Oasis Prep’s culture is a value for family which is not only espoused by the teachers, but also inculcated in students daily through focus on the School culture. “EFFULGE, which means ‘to shine forth or to radiate’ is our culture word, to us it means Extra-ordinary, Faith, Family, Unique, Love, Generosity and Excellence, its more than a slogan, it’s what we become each day” Says Principal Matt Hogarty.
The Legacy run will take place on Piggly Wiggly’s well worn 5km course with a smaller loop allowing for the 2km race to take place on a similar course. The 2km event will start at 9am with the 5km event starting at 10am. Tickets are R30 per person or R100 for a team of up to 5. Tickets can be purchased online from Quicket by following the url http://qkt.io/legacy or on the day at the event.
