Nedbank Citi Dash on Sunday
The 2019 edition of the Nedbank Citi Dash will take place on Sunday.
It is set to be Namibia's largest participatory sporting event of the year and will once again coincide with International Olympics Day.
The popular race, which takes place along Independence Avenue in Windhoek, has already received an overwhelming response from sports bodies, schools, the private sector as well as the general public. With options of a 5km or 10km run or walk, the Nedbank Citi Dash is the perfect event for a family outing.
Designed to showcase Namibia's running talent, the route will take athletes up and down Independence Avenue, starting at Zoo Park in the city centre and going down to the Simon de Witt Bridge, before returning back to the city centre. The elite 10km race will see top Namibian athletes compete for honours in the male and female open categories. The top three wheelchair and visually impaired athletes will also receive prizes.
The race starts at 07:00 with the cut-off time at 07:50.
This year prizes will also be given to the top school, corporate team and running club.
The City of Windhoek will make essential services available for the event including the City Police, traffic department, fire department and the parks and recreation office.
Entry tickets for the Nedbank Citi Dash are still available at the Events Today website until tomorrow at 18:00.
Registration and number collections will take place on Saturday from 14:00 to 17:00 at Zoo Park.
