SUMMARY:Run Waterberg
DESCRIPTION:The Waterberg is one of South Africa’s best loved weekend getaways. Located just 140 kilometres form Pretoria and under 200 from central Johannesburg it is the perfect bushveld retreat from the big city lights. On the 16 th of May 2020 fitness enthusiasts will have another reason to escape the urban hustle and bustle when the inaugural Run Waterberg takes place. \nHosted at the Weesgerus Holiday Resort\, in Modimolle\, the event boasts a road run and three trail running distances. The road run is in fact a reboot of the historic Warmbad to Nylstroom race. It starts at ATKV’s Klein-Kariba Holiday Resort\, Bela-Bela\, and follows the R101 past bushveld farms and private game reserves to Weesgerus. Measuring 26 kilometres in length it is a more challenging run than a standard half-marathon\, not only because of the extended length but also because of the undulating course. \nThe trail runs meanwhile will start and finish in Modimolle’s Weesgerus Holiday Resort. There are 20- and 10-kilometre distances for the avid trail runners. Both routes will wind their way through private farms surrounding Modimolle. Trail runners can expect picturesque scenery and a tough but rewarding run. \nFor the less avid runners in the family\, including the youngest outdoors-men and -women\, Run Waterberg also features a 5-kilometre fun run. The route remains entirely within the safe confines of the Weesgerus Holiday Resort. It is ideal as a walk too\, so non-runners have no need to miss out on the action. \nThe finish venue will also boast a chill zone and live entertainment to ensure that runners make a day of their bushveld excursion. Or better yet\, make a weekend of it. With Weesgerus offering a choice of chalets or caravan/camping accommodation options runners have options to suit their budgets. \nEntries to the Run Waterberg are open at www.entryninja.com and more details can  be found on the event’s Facebook page: Run Waterberg 2020.

SUMMARY:MiWay Wally Hayward Marathon [POSTPONED]
DESCRIPTION:In light of the outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the subsequent postponement or cancellation of sporting events and mass gatherings in the country\, the MiWay Wally Hayward Marathon organising committee\, in co-operation with the relevant authorities\, have made a decision to postpone the race. The safety of our participants\, sponsors\, suppliers\, supporters and members of the public is of utmost importance to us. \n\nThe MiWay Wally Hayward Marathon is a road-running race\, marathon\, half marathon and fun run in Gauteng\, covering 42.2km\, 21.1km\, 10km\, 4.9km and 1km\, on 1 May 2020. \nWally Hayward’s exceptional running career spanned six decades\, and although he represented South Africa at the Olympic Games and set numerous ultra-distance world records\, he is best remembered for his remarkable achievements in the Comrades Marathon\, which he won five times and completed successfully at the ages of 79 and 80. \nProbably the most remarkable achievement of the great Wally Hayward was finishing the 1988 Comrades Marathon\, just before his 80th birthday.

SUMMARY:Rising Sun Chatsworth Freedom Marathon
DESCRIPTION:The 52km  Chatsworth Freedom Marathon is an undulating route which is predominantly run through the sprawling residential areas of Chatsworth. It is a one lap course   with some sections of the route being repeated.  Many kilometres of the race will be run along the major Higginson Highway and about 4km will be run along the scenic and wooded Silverglen Nature Reserve. This section of the race normally rejuvenates the tired runners as they take in the scenery and large gulps of fresh natural air into their lungs. \nThere are about 22 well stocked tables along the route catering for the needs of the runners. Chatsworth residents\,volunteers and sport-loving people man the watering points from as early as 4h00 in the morning.The traditional Chatsworth hospitality of bangra\,eastern and western music is found blaring out at most watering tables.A festive atmosphere seems to envelope the running route which gives the runners an added impetus. \nThis has been a trouble –free marathon over the years and the Club hopes to maintain this impeccable record. \nThe two time ex Comrades winner Stephen Muzhingi From Zimbabwe commented that the Chatsworth Freedom Ultra Marathon was the best training ground for the onslaught on the Comrades. This was after he had won the Chatsworth Ultra  twice and then went on to repeat this feat at the Comrades. \nThe Freedom Marathon is another symbol of democratic freedom achieved in the face of adversity\,racism and corruption. Long may the Light of Freedom shine in our beloved Country!! \nClick here to enter online.

SUMMARY:Ultra-Trail® Drakensberg [CANCELLED]
DESCRIPTION:Further to our notice yesterday of the suspension of UTD 2020\, we have now taken the extremely tough decision to cancel UTD 2020 altogether. We have not taken this decision lightly and gave the only other alternative\, postponement\, a deep and thorough analysis. In so doing it became very clear that postponement to a later date in 2020 was not a viable option for a number of reasons. Click here for the full statement. \nUltra-Trail® Drakensberg is a festival of trail running with events of 160km\, 100km\, 62km\, 30km and 21km. All events take place within the Southern area of the internationally renowned Maloti Drakensberg World Heritage Site and large swathes of this iconic wilderness are traversed. \nIncorporating and skirting some of the legendary features of the Southern Drakensberg such as Sani Pass\, Twelve Apostles\, Khanti Ridge\, Gxalingenwa Gorge\, Hodgson’s Peaks\, Garden Castle\, Rhino Peak and Langalibalele’s Pass participants in Ultra-Trail® Drakensberg will experience mountain running at its very finest. \nEntries close 31 March\, 5pm

SUMMARY:Birchwood Half Marathon [CANCELLED]
DESCRIPTION:In line with the President’s address last night to the nation regarding the Covid19 virus\, we have met with all major stakeholders to discuss the best way to proceed with the 2020 Birchwood Half Marathon. The race is very close to our hearts and no decisions have been made lightly or without extensive discussion. In addition to the huge disappointment for both the participants and the organisers\, there are massive financial implications to canceling an event of this magnitude so close to the actual event date.  \nAs our primary responsibility is the health and safety of our participants and staff\, we have had to make the very difficult decision of canceling the 2020 edition of the Birchwood Half Marathon. The Birchwood Hotel\, who have shown us amazing support\, unfortunately have other events scheduled that mean that we are currently unable to reschedule for this year.  \n​Sadly\, as we are only weeks away from the event date\, most hard costs have already been incurred. Medals and t-shirts have been printed\, and most suppliers have had to be paid for already. As per our race terms and conditions\, no race entries are refundable. However\, we would still like to issue shirts to all entrants who qualified to receive one.  Click here for the full statement. \nGet those laces tied and sweat gear ready for the 10 th Birchwood Half Marathon which\, after a decade of growth and popularity\, is set to pull out all the stops for the 2020 race. Sign up for the 5\, 10 or 21\,1km races taking place on Sunday\, 19 April 2020 starting at the Birchwood Hotel OR Tambo Conference Centre in Boksburg. For more information or to enter\, visit www.birchwoodhalfmarathon.com. \nWhat began in 2010 as a fun-run\, has grown in to a permanent fixture on every athlete’s calendar. The Birchwood Half-Marathon has become one of the most anticipated running events in Gauteng and forms the perfect stepping stone for your Comrades Marathon training and preparation. With a 21.1km\, and 10km available\, the event has something for the experience runner\, as well as those new to the sport. Join us afterwards for prize-giving and chat with our running clubs\, on-site sponsors or grab a foot rub from Birchwood’s Mangwanani Boutique Spa.

SUMMARY:Investgold Two Lagoons Race [CANCELLED]
DESCRIPTION:The organisers of the Investgold Wilderness Festival decided that\, in accordance with government’s decision to cancel all gatherings of 100 or more people\, to cancel the 2020 Wilderness Festival. \nOn Sunday 15 March\, president Cyril Ramaphosa announced that all gatherings of 100 or more people will be banned in an attempt to stop the spread of the Covid-19 (Corona) virus. Therefore the 2020 Wilderness Festival will not continue. \nThe health risk to exhibitors and festival visitors is a major concern\, and we are committed to the fight against the spread of the Covid-19 virus. \nWe are convinced that the cancellation of the 2020 event is in the interest of everyone involved\, including the residents of the coastal town of Wilderness. We are in the process of contacting all artists and exhibitors and will engage in negotiations to determine the way forward. \nAs organisers\, we are looking at a number of possibilities in order to find alternatives\, and will inform all stakeholders of our decisions. \nThe 30km race follows an undulating route and serves as ideal training for Comrades and Two Oceans. The 10km is fast and flat and is run partly on gravel roads. The 2km Fun Run is ideal for kids and walkers alike. \nMedals are awarded to all finishers and handsome cash prizes to category winners. Lucky draw prizes include a weekend getaway for two\, a game drive and meal vouchers. \nPre-entries\, on aswd.co.za\, close on 10 April\, and at Top Gear Sport on Meade Street\, on 11 April at 5pm. You can also enter at the venue on 12 April\, between 2pm and 5pm. \nFor more information visit aswd.co.za/event/two-lagoons-4/ or wildfestival.co.za

SUMMARY:Two Oceans Marathon Trail Runs [CANCELLED]
DESCRIPTION:Africa’s biggest running event and Cape Town’s most prestigious race also features one of the best Trail Runs anywhere in South Africa. The Two Oceans Trail Run (TOTR) boasts nestled pathways and dramatic landscapes through Newlands Forest to the lower slopes of Devil’s Peak and beyond. As such\, TOTR is also acclaimed as one of the most scenic and spectacular Trail Runs anywhere in the world. \nTrail Run participants start at the University of Cape Town (UCT) at the top of the celebrated Jammie Steps. From there\, you’ll head to Newlands Forest\, encountering an exciting and exacting route\, whether you’re an adventurous beginner or more seasoned at tackling trails. Expect to encounter steep ascents\, technical descents and everything in between! \nIn TOM 2018\, clubs were invited to nominate a handful of promising trail runners for sponsorship. TOM was delighted to host these talented 18-to-21-year-old athletes\, for whom the event would otherwise likely have been inaccessible. So gifted were these club-nominated trail athletes\, that all of them secured a top-ten finish. \nKindly note: You have to be 18 years or older on Race Day in order to run the trail route.

Conceived in the pub of the Old Country Club in Golf Street\, by late Dave Gardner and Dart Bousefield.  The first 2 years\, 1966 and 1967\, saw the runners coming into Ladysmith via the by-pass\, down Harrismith Road\, turning into Keate Street\, then Queen Street\, running through the old car park next to the Town Hall and finishing with a lap around the old Oval.  Mayor Rankin of Bergville started the Inaugural race at 07h00 on 8 May 1966.  Manie Khun was the first ever winner in a good time of 3:42:20 for 56 km. \nSince those early days\, both the start and the finish have been changed quite considerably.  This year’s race will start in front of Bergville Municipality in Bergville and finish at the LAC Clubhouse in Klipbank Road\, making it a distance of 52km.  Starting time is 06h00.  A 21 km run will also take place on the same day and will start at 07h00 from the LAC Clubhouse in Klipbank Road.  The race could never take place without the sponsorship\, support and help of business houses and the public of Ladysmith.  (Names of businesses who contributed will be published after the event).  We are proud of the fact that our seconding tables are known as some of the best in the country and a very big thank-you to all of those who so willingly man them.  We are looking forward to a large crowd supporting the runners at the finish. \nWe are looking forward to seeing all our supporters there !! \nClick here to download the entry form
