As the cool embrace of winter gives way to the vibrant energy of spring, Potchefstroom beckons runners, families, and nature enthusiasts to step out under the sun and make a difference. Lekwena Wildlife Estate, in collaboration with its organizers, is hosting the RKB SunRun on Saturday, 2nd September 2023, promising participants not just a rejuvenating run but also the satisfaction of contributing to a noble cause.

Designed as a charity event, the RKB SunRun aims to raise funds and awareness for the Abraham Kriel Children's Home. With a nominal ticket pricing of R125 per person and free entry for children under 12, the event welcomes individuals of all ages to partake in the fun. There are two routes to choose from: a brisk 5km or a more challenging 10km, catering to both casual joggers and seasoned runners.

Gates open early with on-the-day registration starting from 07:00 am. The running window spans from 08:00 am to 10:00 am, allowing participants flexibility in choosing their start times.
Picnic:
But the fun doesn't end at the finish line! Those who prefer a more relaxed day out can look forward to a sun-drenched picnic accompanied by live music from 12:00 pm. The estate ensures a well-rounded family experience by including a supervised kids' area, and for those who didn't pack a lunch, the Lekwena Plaaskombuis will be serving food and drinks from the early hours of 07:00 am.
