Choice of runs that benefit charities

THE Lake Farm Centre will be the beneficiary of Saturday's 24km Big Tree Training Run.

Runners will start at Lake Farm and run to Maitlands and back. Unlike other runs, there will be a mass start at 5.30am.

The entry fee is R70 and all proceeds will go to the centre.

Refreshment stations on the route will be manned by Rotary and Brian Brands.

As this is not an official race, club colours are not required.

Participants can enter at sports shops or online on www.lakefarm.org.za

There will be a lucky draw after the run.

The event, organised by the NG Kerk Sionsraad, will start and end at the Londt Park Sports Cub.

There will be cash prizes in three age groups, U9, U14 and U19 for boys and girls and for adults.

The first 1 000 finishers will receive medals. The entry fee is R35. Late entries will be accepted on Tuesday between 7pm and 8pm at the Londt Park Sports Club and on the morning of the race from 5.30am.

The 8km starts at 7am and the 5km at 7.10am.

The Hope for Children is part of the Evangelism Explosion International which has been hosted in South Africa since 1967.

The programme is being presented at eight high schools and more than 20 primary schools in the metro and in many towns across the country.
