NTT TOYOTA ‘CRUISES’ WITH TZD

MBABANE – NTT Toyota Eswatini, a reputable and established car dealership, is the latest partner in the eagerly-awaited Lubombo Marathon.

TZD Sports presents the exciting race which will be staged this coming Saturday in Siteki. The event will be headlined by a full marathon (42.2km) while the rest of the runners will be accommodated in 21.1km and 10km races. NTT Toyota has pledged to support TZD with lead cars and a water point. Lead cars are used for both traffic control, as well as ensuring that lead athletes stay on course throughout the race.

TZD Director and Athletics Association (AE) President Zakhele Dlamini said they were grateful for the support from NTT Toyota and urged runners to come in their numbers. “It is all systems go from here and we are confident that this will be a memorable race,” the president explained. Among others, some companies that have joined hands in the race include George Investments, Dixie’s, Inyoni Africa, Bible Society, Lokuhle Transport, Tit-for-Tat Transport and MulaSport. The main race will start at 5:30am while the other two events will start simultaneously at 6am. For the 21.1km and the 10km, buses will depart from Siteki to starting points between 5am and 5:30am. “Registration is still open, so runners can visit the designated outlets to register,” said Dlamini.

Runners can register at Fitness Zone, Siteki Hotel, Mr Matata Stores (Moneni, Matata), Eswatini Sport and Recreation Council offices, EOCGA offices and Galito’s outlets. While there are plenty of cash prizes to be won, there is an added incentive. A ticket to the June 2023 Palau International Marathon in Taiwan will be up for grabs. It will be given to a runner who will clock 02:20 hours or better in the full marathon (men). For women, the qualifying time is 02:55 hours or better. In the half marathon, the qualifying times for men and women are 01:05 and 01:25 or better, respectively.
