Nite race at Ben Fleur a running success

The annual Spur Nite Race was once again a success.

On March 15, runners gathered in huge numbers at the Ben Fleur Boulevard Shopping Centre.

Schools and runners alike took part in the 10km run and the 4.9km fun run.

Local Community Policing Forum (CPF) was also in attendance and provided marshalls for the event. “This event is for the community; somewhere they can run safely. It is also for the schools where kids can attend and for clubs. This race has been held for the last nine years. The race is also a way for us to see who can join the SA running team later this year. The route we have used this year is brand new and we hope that the runners will enjoy it,” said organiser Paul Bester.

In the ladies’ 10km division, Wendy Msezane from the SAPS came in first and Unice Nslabo from the Eskom Club in second with Lorraine Roets from Nedbank, third.
