Twilight never prettier than when viewed on the trot at Plett Country Club’s course
The first-ever Twilight Run was held at the Plett Country Club course in the run-up to Christmas, on a balmy summer solstice Friday evening.
Just under 100 runners with a good mix of young and old, locals and holidaymakers headed out on the carefully-marked route around the beautifully-maintained golf course.
The soft grass and amazing scenery were a first for many of these runners and delectable wors rolls with the legendary Country Club chilli sauce at the finish line made for an excellent evening.
With the emphasis on fun, lucky draw prizes were collected along the route and only the top three female and male runners were timed to the finish line.
Results for the ladies were Lise Marais in the first place, followed by Judith Attringer and Gabriella Erlank. Men’s podium finishers were Gilermo Lamini (first), Matthew van Coller (second) and Kevin Marais in third place.
After the success of the inaugural event, organiser James ‘Lettuce’ Stewart of Muddyfoot Adventures is now inviting racing snakes and leisure runners alike to sign up for the second Twilight Run at Plett Country Club on Friday, January 10.
A percentage of funds raised will enable local trailers to participate in Expedition Africa 2020 (find out more at www.kinetic-events.co.za), which this year takes place in Lesotho from April 9-19.
