THE NUM-NUM FUN RUN (4km or 8km)

13 October, Pongola Express Camp

Enjoy the tranquil forests and waterfalls of the Schoonspruit river on either 4km or 8km trails. There are waterfalls galore, stunning gorges and indigenous forests. The cicadas make a bit of a racket but otherwise it is tranquil.  This is an informal event with no timings etc. A great training opportunity and fun day out in a wonderful nature conservation area.

Charity: A school is often only as good as the parents. Over 50% of the children attending the local schools are orphans. So to support the development of schoolds 25% of the entry fees will go towards buying sports equipment for location schools. Donations of non-perishable foods (e.g. meilie-meal, tinned food, long-life milk, beef stock) are welcome towards school lunches. We will buy the sports kit and deliver the food. No cash will be given.

Parking: Free parking.

Pongola Express: This camp is based around 1954 renovated railway carriages. There is a large socialising deck and picnic area. We will have a fire going for people who want to braai their own meat.
