Developing junior athletes
Since its establishment in 2012, the Bottelary Athletics Club has grown from the farms of Bottelary to include communities such as Wesbank and Delft.
The club is dedicated to developing junior athletes aged five to 21.
Some of the club’s top athletes have secured study bursaries. “We currently have an athlete at UWC, Basal Maci, while Tamica Jooste and Ruchan Blaauw are both studying in the USA on a sports scholarship,” says club secretary Rochelle Soggop.
Event details
- Entry fee: R30

This fun run serves as a fundraiser to provide essential running gear and travel funds for the club’s junior athletes to compete at provincial and national levels.
