The Vital Run is an annual event held in the Western Cape and is brought to you by Vital Health Foods in conjunction with Run Walk for Life WP Athletics Club. The race is popular amongst locals and visitors and attracts thousands of runners each year including some well known celebrities, so keep an eye out for them. The run will take place on the 3rd December 2011 and is in aid of the PATCH Helderberg Centre for Abused Children.
This year Vital is introducing the Vital Red Socks Initiative to help raise funds for PATCH. By buying a pair of the red socks it will benefit a worthy cause.
There's a choice of race distances to choose from so the whole family can join in the festivities of the day. There will be a 21km run, 10km run, 10km walk and a 4km run/walk. The 21km and 10km run routes are both off road and the 21km route has quite a few challenges including a 3km climb at the beginning of the race. The 10km walk also has challenges of its own but is worth the effort. The route back is a comfortable and level road to the end. The Fun Run is suitable for all ages and offers a beautiful, scenic route to all participants. All finishers who complete the course in cut-off time will be awarded medals.
After the races, participants can relax and enjoy all the festivities at the popular Family Market. There are great lucky draws and prizes too.
Participants may enter online at www.vitalrun.co.za
Late entries will be accepted on the day between 5am and 6:15am before the race.
