Members of Strand Athletic Club, including the determined Klippies van Rooyen (pictured), participated in the the Bay to Bay Road Race along the Atlantic Seaboard on Saturday 18 January. The race offers participants a choice between a challenging 30 km route and a more accessible 15 km distance. Logistically, the event successfully managed two unique starting points to accommodate the different distances: the 30 km race started at Camps Bay High School, while the 15 km participants set-off from Mainstream Mall in Hout Bay. Despite the separate starts, both paths led to a shared celebration at the finish line at the Glen Country Club in Clifton.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
