Running swiftly
The event which has grown in popularity over the past six years took place on Sunday 12th of August. This family event has become synonymous with the August public holidays.
Swift’s participation included sponsoring one of nine refreshment points for the 21km marathon, which was won by Jonathan Chinyoka in a time of 1.05.39, beating last year’s winning time by over two minutes. Swift also delivered items needed for the event from Harare to Kariba.
Rob Kuipers, managing director of Swift had this to say; “The Kariba Half Marathon has grown phenomenally over the last couple of years. I took part last year and was so impressed I felt Swift had to become involved on some level and support it this year.”
The 21km marathon included other events in which the whole family was able to participate, there was a 10km fun run/walk for all ages, and 2km run/walk for those under the age of eight, which meant a fantastic day out and lots of excitement for all members of the family.
