EZULWINI – Runners will be running for prayer during the KwaMagogo 10km Legacy Run and Walk to be held on June 22 at the Pendray Park, Manzini.

The 11th edition of the run/ walk and the golf tournament billed a day before the race is themed ‘Church and State, Religion and Politics’. The Author of the Trelawney Park Number 43 book, Elias Masilela, said it would be a big day whereby runners and those to participate in other events, including the business breakfast, golf tournament, 10km run/ walk and the gala dinner, will get to share a moment with South Africa’s Archbishop Desmond Tutu, together with other dignitaries.

Masilela said after enjoying last year’s event, where they celebrated with music, this time around they are going for the church and politics. He said both parties played a crucial role in people’s lives and if these parties come together, government will be able to deliver to the people as expected. “Long time ago, churches were playing a crucial role in people’s lives as they were taking care of things like education and health, but now these necessities are delivered by the governments and if they are brought together, delivery to the people will be up to standard,” he said.

Golden Foot Club (GFC) Public Relations Officer (PRO) Gideon Mthembu said registration for the race would be open from today and at four venues being the Manzini Fitness Zone, Phela Live in Ezulwini, Sneakers Mbabane and Sports Houze in Matsapha. He said each athlete would pay E120 registration fee and late registration each athlete will be charged E200.
“We are encouraging the nation to register early to avoid disappointment during the race. That is why we added a penalty for the late registration as we are discouraging people to register on the day of the race,” he said.

Eswatini Athletics Secretary Thoba Mazibuko invited all clubs to attend the race. The event was launched yesterday at Phela Live, Ezulwini. Phela Live will provide aerobics after the race and they are part of the sponsors for the event.
