By

Discovery Vitality is excited to announce that its popular Vitality Sprint Series is extending to Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape. Discovery Vitality has partnered with Rafi’s Appliances and Mattresses to bring the National Vitality Series to our region this October.

The Rafi’s BayRun will be hosted by 32Gi and Achilles Athletics clubs on Saturday, 21 October, and will start and finish at Cape Recife High School.

The Vitality Sprint Series was introduced in 2017, with the aim to encourage people improve their fitness through physical activity. The Series has over the years offered iconic events in the Western Cape, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal and recently launched the George Series and the upcoming Gqeberha Series. The series is open to anyone, and Vitality members earn Vitality points for participating in races.

The Rafi’s BayRun will offer three flat and scenic distances, 21km, 10km and a fun 5km. All three distances will be timed, and all finishers will receive a Rafi’s BayRun with Discovery Vitality Series medal.

Collection of race numbers and late entries will be available at Rafi’s Appliances and Mattresses store at 2 West Street, Newton Park, from 16.00 to 19.00, on both Thursday, and Friday evenings, 19 and 20 October, as well as from 05.00 at Cape Recife High School on race day.

“We’d admire to see over 1000 runners taking on the three distances,” said race director, Jonathan Mandell of 32Gi athletics club, who is sharp to see the event grow with both Rafi’s and Discovery Vitality’s support.

Local Event Sponsor, Rafi Selvilya, of Rafi’s Appliances and Mattresses, is an avid supporter of living a healthy lifestyle and has been sponsoring local running events for many years. “We invite all runners, the serious, the fun runners and walkers to join our event,” said Rafi.

The first 350 runners to register on both Thursday and Friday evenings will receive Rafi’s BayRun race T-shirts and the chance to win Rafi’s shopping vouchers which will be drawn every 30 minutes instore on both evenings.

The event program will start with the 21km at 06.00, the 5km at 06.05, the 10km at 06.20, and the prize giving will be held at 09.30.
