ABOUT

The day will start with a 21.1km Cycle race trail ride, which will also consist of handcycles. The main event of a 10km run will allow all participants inter alia to push each other in a wheelchair, take part in wheelchairs (unassisted) run blindfolded, run with crutches or push a wheelbarrow. This will also present possible sponsors and the broader community with yet another opportunity to showcase their support for disability. A 5km and a 2.5km will also be hosted to accommodate the whole family. This will also be an official race under the rules of Athletics South Africa ( ASA) and Athletics Gauteng North (AGN).
 
  • Enter as a team and push each other in a wheelchair over a chosen distance
  • Handcycles, race chairs, and electric wheelchairs are welcome
  • Run Blind folded with your partner as a guide

These are just some of the entertainment that will be on offer on the day as part of a fundraiser for Oppie Bol Foundation.
The paramount motive is to empower persons with disabilities by presenting an opportunity to have access to participation in sport and employment. Bringing persons with disabilities together and, with a winning combination of exercise, sporting skill and social interaction, is the perfect tonic for good health and optimal well-being.
