All dressed up and no race to go😱 Spookhill 2026 was once again cancelled due to storm weather risk. But never fear, our delicious eats, prepared by our dedicated social group, kept the good spirits of all the prospective participants high and warm.😃thank you once again to all who pitched and the RWFL social group for all your great support👌

Its 2 weeks to go to the Big 2/0 and the whole world was out running and walking today. What a privilege to see how active people are in our beautiful area. So did our RWFL members take to the road doing various distances from 8km to 19km which included the gruelling Spook hill, but with plenty volunteer watertable support, all conquered! Well done boys and girls. As always every body enjoyed the welcome home gazebo with refreshments and fresh tasty eats and a nice kuier, all made possible by our super social group! Thanks all, what a wonderful day☺

How nice it is to see people working hard and then achieve their goals. So did one of our role models who excelled once again during the past weekend – participating in the WPA Masters 5000m Race Walking Champs and made the podium with a golden first place in her age category! A huge congrats to Carol-Ann Aver for a super achievement. We know she has been working very hard and reaped the benefits. She also made her SA time for her age category. We are super proud of her.

Its never too late to start a New years resolution. Just do it!
