Swakop Uranium to host second Husab Marathon

Swakop Uranium will host its annual Husab Marathon on 13 August after a successful inaugural event last year.
More than 500 participants took part in the race last year, with runners from the army and police dominating the marathon and 10km races. More participants are expected this year.
Run along a scenic route, all the way up to the Husab Mine and back to the B2 road, the race is aimed at attracting competitive runners, while serving as a fun day for communities from Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, Henties Bay and Arandis who want to take part in the 5km walk/run.
Athletes are urged to get fit and enter for the marathon, which is aimed at becoming one of the premier races on the Namibian calendar.
