MBABANE – Athletes should be geared up for a tough run in the inaugural TZD Trail-Run billed for Saturday at Mpaka Railways.


The race will feature a 21km, 10km and 5km. Registration closes on Friday afternoon at 4pm. The race will start at 7am. TZD Sports Club Director Zakhele Dlamini said the response from the public was good and encouraged people to continue to register. Registration is done at Nandos (Mbabane), Fitness Zone, Nandos (Manzini), Siteki Hotel, Nandos (Matsapha) and at Imphumelelo Perways at Railways Clinic, Gcebile in Mpaka. Dlamini said the club was hosting the event as per the club’s obligation to the Athletics Association of Swaziland (AAS). 


He said those who were doing the manual registration after filling the registration form, payment could be made at FNB account number 62733828977. There are prizes to be won in all the races. The champion of the 21km will take home E1 500 both males and females.


“The trail run is not for competing athletes only but also gives people the chance of exercising and mingling together. It is different from road races as the route consists of trail. This will also be a chance for people to get to know Mpaka for its speciality in railways and also produces coal,” he said.


Dlamini said they were encouraging early registration as they will give people a chance at least three hours before the race start on Saturday.
Trail running certainly is more work due to hills and less efficiency from the variable surfaces you encounter. For more details, Dlamini can be contacted on 7604 8762 or 7902 0673.
