“We are excited to be hosting the first race on the Border in a quite a while. But also nervous as organising a race during Covid is a new experience for us and we would like to ensure we adhere to regulations,” Striders member Helen Pretorius said.
“Therefore there will be compliance rules in place at the start, during the race and finish of the to safeguard the health and safety of the helpers and participants.
“This race is not called the ‘Lightning Fast’ for nothing! If it’s a personal best you after, then this is the race for you.
“It is arguably the fastest 10km on the Border. If you approach the first few kilometres with caution you could finish with an impressive PB!”
