Last week Saturday, 12 July 2014, Central Gauteng Athletics powered by MTN SA Foundation together

with the local host Kagiso Striders Athletics Club and Mogale City hosted the 5th

Cross Country league at

the Kagiso Sports Complex. It was yet another successful race event hosted and a greater turn out too.

The results system is now on full motion and athletes are getting used to it. With three more leagues to go to

the Central Gauteng Athletics Championships this is great, because by that time we get to provincial

championships athletes will be then used to the system and will experience the smooth running of results

TAKKIE DRIVE

I was wondering if you could help us with something, my twins will be hosting a “takkie drive” at their

birthday party in September – we are collecting takkies and running shoes, new or old, any size or colour for

charity. Our aim is to get at least 100 pairs of shoes, but hope to get to 200 by the 24th

September.

People can drop it off at the club and I can collect or just call me and we can arrange to collect.

Kind Regards
