About the Inaugural Run for Africa 5K
The course runs through Max Rodes Park, a setting with natural surroundings and open green space. The event has a festival feel, with music and dancing woven into the morning rather than saved for the finish. A ministry and a sports organization co-host it together, and the cause behind the race shapes the atmosphere as much as the course does.
