Runners go bananas!
Over 140 participants laced up their running shoes on Saturday to embark on the third trail run hosted at the Moonraker Outdoor Adventure Restcamp.The day began with a spirited start as the 20 km runners of the Gondwana Moonraker Ridge Trail Run took off at 6:30, quickly followed by the 10 and 5 km participants.
Under the theme “Gondwana goes bananas”, a bountiful supply of bananas added to the familial fun and conviviality of the event. Following the race, runners, many joined by their families and friends savoured live music and relished a delectable Spitbraai lunch.
For our younger visitors, the animals at Moonraker Farm became a day's highlight.
Gondwana thanks event sponsors, with special thanks to King Price Insurance, Nova 103.5, StaminoGro, Norflex Gel, and OSH-Med International, along with the generous contributions from Checkers, Namibia Breweries, and Coca-Cola.
The Gondwana Moonraker Ridge Trail Run is part of the larger Gondwana Adventure event series, which includes the Moon Valley Marathon scheduled for 29 March 2024.
