Veterans and masters will take part in the 5km group. The starting point for the 5km group will be Tshitereke Shopping Complex. They will use the same finishing point for the youth and adults.

According to Mr Phamphe, the registrations forms for the run are now available at the school. Phamphe has appealed to people who are interested in taking part in the run to ensure that their forms are accompanied by the registration fee when returning them. The registration fee is R15 for the youth, R10 for veterans and masters, and R25 for adults.

Phamphe further revealed that the run will also serve to alert the people about the presence of the school in the area, apart from its main aim, which is disability awareness. The school was established way back in 1999. According to Phamphe, the school has a total enrollment of 65 learners who rely on four teachers and four caregivers.
