It is time once again for runners to brave the chilly Germiston mornings and tackle the annual Alan Robb Race.<\/p>\n
The race, formerly known as the Legends Race, includes a 15km and a 32km race and will start and end at the Germiston Stadium on April 7.<\/p>
The event is held annually by Germiston Callies Harriers in honour of veteran member Alan Robb, who won four Comrades Marathons in Callies colours.<\/p>\n
Runners will hit the streets at 6.30am.<\/p>
In keeping with tradition, the day will also host a 5km fun run, which aims to raise funds for a worthy charity.<\/p>\n
This event will kick-off at 7am, after the main race has begun.<\/p>\n
The charity is yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
Runners can enter the race by visiting www.entrytime.com or the Central Gauteng Athletics offices at Germiston Stadium until March 29.<\/p>\n
Last minute entries for the race and fun run will be taken at the Callies offices at Germiston Stadium on April 6 from 9am to 1pm.<\/p>\n
Pre-entries may also be collected from the office on that day.<\/p>\n
\u201cLate entries will also be open on the morning of the race from 5am, pre-entrants can also collect their numbers before the race,\u201d said Les Black, on behalf of Germiston Callies Harriers.<\/p>\n
