RUNNER ’ S HIGH
HO , HO , HO ! Ho , Ho , Ho !
The Experience : This race is all about Christmas cheer , with many clubs running in big groups , dressing up and pushing a themed float , and the award for the best float this year went to Hillcrest Villagers for their Gingerbread House . It ’ s a hilly race with a total elevation gain of 333m – you run up and down every hill in Westville , except for Cowies of Comrades fame – but it ’ s fun all the way thanks to the club buses , the ‘ gees ’ of the organisers , and a bit of ‘ liquid encouragement ’ here and there ISSUE along 164 | the www route . modernathlete . . co . za 24
