Celebrate 25 Years of Scenic racing: Join us at Sedgefield
This exciting race has been in the making for 25 years. There’s a 21km run for the serious marathoners, a 10km run/walk for the sprinters, and a 3km fun walk/run for the family. The route takes runners through our quaint little town and truly showcases the beauty of Sedgefield. Participants will enjoy a scenic route along the shimmering lagoon, with breathtaking views of the ocean, lush greenery, and charming streets lined with vibrant flora. This race is an annual highlight for the community, attracting runners from all over the country to take on this picturesque challenge.
I must add that this event would not be possible without the support of our sponsors. We’d like to give a big shout out to our local Pick and Pay family store, Engen 1 Stop, and all the other sponsors for their wonderful support. They are an integral part of this community and have been helping us throughout the years. We want people to come out to support the runners and make this event a success!
