Bertholdt Karumendu, the regional Sports officer in Omaruru, said the challenge run will take place at Omaruru this coming weekend. According to Karumendu, this year’s event will have ten categories. “We are going to have different races, which mean we are going to have 8 plates of races. We will start eight o'clock in the morning and end up at 11h30” added Karumendu. The race will kick off with the primary school girls and boys category and end with the Senior Men and Women categories. Powersave is one of the main sponsors, alongside Coca Cola and Pasta Polana, These companies committed by donating 5000 Namibia dollars to the winners in the senior categories. On behalf of Powersave, Armanda Steyn said they are honoured to be part of this event for the fourth year running. Steyn added that he is also happy with the numbers of participants that normally partake in this event. “For a change, it is something that is not centred in Windhoek; we took it a little bit outside Windhoek. And the last three years, we actually got a lot more runners, which was exciting” said Steyn. Furthermore, he urged athletes to continue be part of the run challenge. The race is open to anyone, and according the organisers athletes still have time submit their applications to the competition till Saturday morning.
