Athletes and the social runner wanting to run a personal best time over 21,10 or 5 kilometres should enter to run the Bestmed TuksRace that is back in the Jacaranda City Saturday 18 February 2023.
Jet Moses (TuksAthletics) is confident that athletes who have put in the hours on the road should clock fast times. The last part of the half-marathon is downhill and flat.
In a sit down, Moses can’t help but brag a bit.
“Our Bestmed TuksRace is definitely one of the best-organised races in the country. And it is one of the cheapest to run. Returning from a time of sporting uncertainty, the race needed to take into consideration the changed running landscape. So our challenge as race organisers is to find unique ways to create an event every runner will want to run. With the Bestmed TuksRace, we are on track to do so.”
Marketing and Communications Manager at TuksSport, Angelica van Dou could not hold back her elation at the revitalised sponsorship relationship.
“The Bestmed TuksRace is an opportunity to have the running community and students of the University of Pretoria come out in numbers to recommit themselves to wellness, refresh themselves after a tough year and to have fun with friends and family regardless of the distance participants choose to run.”
