The 5km fun walk/run was well supported by the Bedfordview community and race organisers Bedfordview Athletics has donated R25,000 to Better Bedfordview from the net proceeds. Better Bedfordview is a not-for-profit civil society organisation that is cleaning, tidying and improving the area, and creating employment. It is funded by caring and community-spirited residents and businesses. The race organisers were very grateful that they fixed potholes on the race route, painted road markings and keep the pavements clean and tidy.
‘Bedfordview Athletics would like to extend warm thanks to the sponsors, service providers, volunteers from our running club and community, schools and businesses,’ said Race Director Charnia Yapp from Bedfordview Athletics.
The event would not be possible without the race sponsorship from Afrihost and their awesome race shirts, socks, internet vouchers, spot prizes, waters at the finish and the free race photos. Donations and prizes were received from many local businesses and some well known brands: Extreme Wear, Trulab Cosmetics, Harcourts Kempen, The Luggage Company, Reactive Wellness, Anita Active Sports wear, Joint Eze, Vaseline, Vita Plus, Kloof Animal Clinic, Redfern Labels, Little Fishes Swim school, and Relax Restore Recover Mobile Sports Massage.
Thanks to Holy Rosary and St Benedict’s College for their help and amazing spirit as they supported the runners at the water points. Thanks to RAG and Blue Hawk Tactical for keeping watch over the marshals on the race route, and BCPF for doing patrols.
The phenomenal service providers ensured a well-run event: ABI, ASM Safety Consultants, AllyCats, B-One Toilet Hire, Easy Waste, EMPD, Dial A Medic, In Detail Advertising, Lodge Security and Peak Timing.
