Uitenhage Fun Run back for another lap

Volkswagen Group South Africa’s (VWSA) PeoplePavilion will host the second 5km Volkswagen Fun Run on Saturday, 21 May.

The inaugural race in 2015 attracted nearly 1 000 runners including the 2016 Hanover Marathon winner and Rio Olympics medal hopeful, Lusapho April who resides in Uitenhage. The 2016 Volkswagen Fun Run is once again open to the public, VWSA employees and their loved ones.

The race will start from the PeoplePavilion before making its way through the Volkswagen Factory and will finish back at the PeoplePavilion.

“The second annual 5km Fun Run is one of the many sporting events that will be hosted by the PeoplePavilion this year. Our R30 million investment into this facility is certainly paying off and is giving our employees world-class biokenitics care, affordable gym as well as a place to meet and socialise,” said Thomas Schaefer, Chairman and Managing Director of Volkswagen Group South Africa.

The entry fee for the race is R20 per person and closing date for the entries is Wednesday, 18 May 2016. Registration forms are available at Brian Bands Sports in Port Elizabeth and Brockett Sports in Uitenhage.

The winners of the male and female categories will each receive R1 000 prize money. The second and third place winners will receive R500 and R250 respectively.

“As we did in the first race in 2015, all the proceeds from this year’s race entries will be donated to the Lake Farm Centre which we have been supporting for the past ten years,” concluded Schaefer.
