Popular Stadium Night Relay returns on Tuesday

By

Almost a full house of team entries is anticipated for next Tuesday night’s penultimate round of the popular Town Lodge Business Night Relay at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.Teams comprising of 5 runners or 3 walkers complete a 3.5km route within the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium and are enjoying this unique corporate team building opportunity for their staff to stay active during winter whilst socialising outside of the workplace. The Town Lodge Business Night “The support this year has been terrific with lots of companies entering multiple teams in the event, ” said Relay co-ordinator Mike Zoetmulder of Zsports Events NPC. “This year we have about a 60:40 split between the running and walking teams and last month we saw our first wheelchair team taking part and enjoying this unique relay race.”Series leaders, and champions for the past couple of years, the Gamble Pharmacy Men’s team will be looking to avenge their shock lost last month to their Mixed team and will be expected to come back hard on Tuesday night. In the walking category the social team from Bluewater Bay are currently in a class of their own and it’s going to take a group of serious walkers to challenge them.

Tuesday night’s event will be round 3 for this winter’s Town Lodge Business Night Relay and the penultimate for 2016 with the final round taking place on the last Tuesday of August. The event starts at 6pm with gates into the stadium opening from 4pm. Online registration for all new teams is mandatory with an entry fee of just R500 per running team and R300 per walking team. All teams that registered for either of the previous 2 rounds this season don’t have to re-register but just indicate their attendance for Round 2 by making an EFT payment for Round 3 ahead of the Tuesday. Pre-registered teams keep the same race number throughout the Series.
