The
St Lucia Ratepayers Association is organising the event in conjunction
with the iSimangaliso Park Authority and, as far as St Lucia News is
aware, as per last year's inaugural event, participants will get to
choose from a variety of running routes including a kids' walk, a 5km walk, as well as 10km and 21km runs. Routes will be designed to include some of the attractions St Lucia has to offer including the Boardwalk and iGwalagwala Trail. The aim of an annual event such as this is to provide the St Lucia Community with a chance to take a step back from the daily grind and participate in something fun that the whole family can enjoy. And, as this event is open to everybody, whether St Lucia resident or not, it also provides the opportunity for the St Lucia Community to show visitors why our town is the coastal gem of KZN. Enter the event with your friends & family and be prepared to enjoy a weekend of exercise and excitement. Rumour has it that a TV personality will be visiting St Lucia that weekend too so the St Lucia Community and visitors alike will just have to attend the braai organised for the Saturday afternoon to find out just who is paying our little town a visit. Participants' entry fees, as well as donations from those not planning on participating, will be put towards the continued conservation of St Lucia's and the wetland park's wildlife. Once confirmed, we will keep the St Lucia Community abreast of how and where their funds will be spent.
