The 28th edition will continue the tradition of a wonderful country outing for family and friends – entrants will be able to choose between a 5km walk/run, 10km road or 25 training run. This year the running events will be organized by the professional Nedbank Running Club and the 10km has been awarded EPA club league status, which will be an added incentive for club participation.

Long term supporters of Lake Farm Centre’s popular fundraiser, include Volkswagen SA, Bukani Print, Investec, Kingfisher FM, and Coca Cola whose commitment has seen the continued success of this flagship fundraiser.

Lake Farm will also be hosting a wonderful Festival of over thirty Country food and craft stalls on Saturday. Race Organisers, Nedbank running club, invites all runners and their families to enjoy a morning in the country with Lake Farm Centre’s famous tea room’s scones & cream, pancakes, boerewors rolls and Country market.

There will be also be a Dog Show and Snake Demo to keep the kids entertained.

This year the Lake Farm Centre celebrates 63 years of providing a loving home and work place for 90 intellectually challenged residents from the Eastern Cape. The goal of the annual Charity Run & Ride is to raise much-needed funds and create awareness for Lake Farm Centre, a residential centre for intellectually challenged adults.

The Lake Farm Centre Charity Run will take place at the Centre in Lakeside Rd and caters for the entire family. Events start on Saturday from 05.30 with the 25km training run, followed by the 10km run starting at 07:30, and a 5km fun run at 08:00. All finishers in the events will be given a special medal handmade by the residents.

“The residents at the Centre have been hard at work molding, painting and sewing ribbons to create the special hand-made medals given out to the Charity Run & Ride finishers,” said Centre general manager, Amelia Laubscher.
