SOME OF THE AMAZING ENTRIES WE HAVE RECEIVED
Remember , your moment doesn ' t have to be literally winning something , it can be achieving a target milestone or setting a new PB , or even a moment that made you smile . It ' s a competition all about celebrating YOU and your achievements , no matter how big or small .
Running sets my heart on fire ! Two years ago , I became very sick , and eventually , I had to give up one of my biggest passions , running . This was devastating for me , but I had no choice . So I shifted from being the participant to being the spectator and supporter .
I started running 10 years before , and it opened up a whole new world to me . It helped me overcome a traumatic time in my life and since then I have enjoyed every moment of the journey , especially meeting the most amazing people from the running community . Running is a gift and I will never take it for granted .
For me now , as I slowly navigate this new chapter , and start over , every kilometer I run is a miracle and every time I am out there , it is a Winning Moment !" Debbie Ivins
" Accomplishing a new PB , since I ran my last one in 2017 . I ran a 44 minue 10km at the SAPR Women ' s a Grand Prix Series , it felt really good " Ash Naidoo
" Running 129km from Struisbaai to Hermanus in support of the Southern Right Whales . Not only was this the furthest I have run before by more than double the distance . It was amazing to do something to help create awareness for the Whales and what is happening with our Oceans ." Tom Stabler
" My winning moment was running my first 8 km race and not giving up . I remember crying along the route because I felt like the uphill climb was going to be the death of me , I wanted to quit , but I hung in there and didn ’ t ! I haven ’ t looked back since then .
I ’ ve now challenged myself to run a 21km by the end of the year . I ' ve lost weight , my blood pressure has normalised , my sugar is back to normal and my cholesterol is optimal . I ’ m living my best life . Winning every day !
