\u00a0RACE REPORT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cas and I were fortunate to be able to run the Vic Falls 21km in June. Running an international race is always a special occasion with people from all over the world sharing the route. \u00a0Many South Africans ran the 21km and we noticed quite a few people from France and Germany even as far as Latvia! \u00a0Here are a few pictures.<\/p>\n
