The 5km fun walk/run was well supported by the Bedfordview community and race organisers Bedfordview Athletics has donated R25000 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 our 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.
