THE FUTURE OF ROAD RUNNING LOOKS BRIGHT Nedbank and The Sports Trust enabled 300 learners from 10 schools to run the KwaZulu-Natal Youth Race for the third year in a row through the provision of shoes and kits. The race took place a day before Comrades Marathon, which is co-sponsored by Nedbank. The race exposes youngsters to the joys and benefits of running, while providing them with an opportunity to be part of the Comrades Marathon experience. The programme is supported by KZN Athletics and has contributed R500 000 to over 600 learners since 2012. “This programme has proven hugely successful over the last few years and The Sports Trust is grateful to Nedbank for enabling this initiative to run for a third consecutive year. One of the learners Mvelo Nkomo represented KwaZulu-Natal province at the Sub-Youth/Youth/Junior (SYYJ) Championships recently held at Stellenbosch, Western Cape. This initiative demonstrates our aim of enhancing education through sport in South Africa,” said Anita Mathews, Executive Director of The Sports Trust.
