Hangana Hake Run & Ride entries close

Hangana Hake Run & Ride late registrations will only be accepted on 6 October at the Jan Wilken Stadium between 14:00 and 22:00. During this time already registered participants will be able to collect their race packs.Hangana Seafood, a subsidiary of the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group, earlier in the year announced its take-over from Etosha Fishing of the oldest coastal sporting event, formerly known as the Lucky Star Marathon.“I can assure you that other than the name change, the event will continue in the same proud tradition and format as before and where possible, we will continue to further improve and grow the event,” Hangana Seafood managing director Herman Theron said at the official launch of the event.Since then Nedbank has come on board as a co-sponsor and Radiowave as a media partner, which is testimony to the popularity of the event for the coastal communities. The Hangana Hake Run & Ride coincides with the annual Walvisfees, which is hosted on the same weekend at the Jan Wilken Stadium in Walvis Bay, offering fun and entertainment for the entire family.“In line with the O&L Group purpose 'Creating a Future, Enhancing Life', we are truly excited to host this event that encourages a healthy, balanced lifestyle, to our corporate social responsibility portfolio, as we are confident it will make a positive impact on and enhance the lives of the community within which we operate,” Theron said.The marathon and 105km cycling events are particularly popular among serious athletes as the latter is a Namibia Cycling Federation sanctioned event and the marathon a qualifier for the Two Oceans and Comrades marathons. Other events include the half-marathon, 10km fun run, 21km mountain and fat bike as well as a 5km kiddies ride.Although the event is dominated by local entries, international entries include participants from Australia, Brazil, the Netherlands, United States, Japan, Spain, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.All participants not yet registered are encouraged to visit the Hangana Hake Run & Ride website at www.hangana-hakerun.com to register before the end of the week. Updates on race developments will also be made available through the website or Facebook page @hanganahakerun.SPORTS REPORTER
