Participants will compete in the senior men and women 10km, Under-20 girls 6km and Under-20 boys 8km.

Under-17 boys and girls will battle it out in a 4km race while Under-15 boys and girls compete in a 2km.

There is also a 1.5km race for Under-12 boys and girls and a 4km race for 40 years and over men and women.

The club’s chairperson Collen Makaza said they are expecting a good turnout.

The athletics season got underway last week with some of the provinces such as Harare holding their provincial competition.
