Die Run West 2024-strandwed\u00adloop wat op Sondag 22 September in die Strandfontein- en Doringbaai-omgewing plaasgevind het, het \u2019n rekordopkoms van 240 inskrywings ontvang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deelnemers het die voorreg gehad om \u2019n ongerepte deel van die Weskus te deurkruis wat min mense in voertuie ooit bereik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dom de Jesus het die strandwedloop in 2021 begin om geld vir Protect the West Coast (PTWC) in te samel. Di\u00e9 organisasie beywer hom daarvoor om ongekontro\u00adleerde en vernietigende mynbou aan die Weskus te stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De Jesus s\u00ea die aantal inskrywings, wat sedert verlede jaar meer as verdubbel het, het gesorg dat alle gastehuise in Doringbaai en Strandfontein asook die kampeerplekke vir die Erfenisdag-langnaweek vol bespreek was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns is baie opgewonde om by te dra tot die plaaslike ekonomie, wat ook klein ondernemings en verkopers insluit wat saam met ons werk om roosterkoek- en potjiekos-etes vir hardlopers, ondersteuners en gesinne te verskaf, om nie eens te praat van verversingstasies op pad nie,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deelnemers kon die 21 km-roete van Papendorp naby die oewer van die Olifantsrivier langs strande, kranse en paaie via Strandfontein tot by Fryer\u2019s Cove in Doringbaai kies \u2013 \u2019n roete deur een van die mees ongerepte dele van die Weskus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of hulle het die 10 km-roete van Strandfontein tot by Fryer\u2019s Cove gehard\u00adloop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aan die begin van die 21 km-wedloop by Papendorp, \u2019n bekende vissersgemeen\u00adskap wat staatmaak op die biodiversiteit van die nabygele\u00eb Olifantsriviermond vir hul bestaan, het visservroue sowat 130 hardlopers in \u2019n spesiale seremonie met liedere en \u2019n gebed gese\u00ebn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mike Schlebach, direkteur van PTWC, beskryf Run West as die perfekte voorbeeld van \u2019n volhoubare natuurgeba\u00adseerde oplossing om die ver\u00adnie\u00adtigende aard van onvol\u00adhou\u00adbare mynbou te\u00eb te werk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns moedig eerder geleenthede en aktiwiteite in harmonie met die omgewing aan wat welgestelde besoekers lok en werk aan gemeenskappe verskaf, terwyl broodnodige hulpbronne in die streekekonomie ingespuit word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vanjaar se geleentheid is moontlik gemaak deur die Nasionale Seereddingsinstituut (NSRI) en die Matzikama-munisipaliteit, Namaqua Wines SA, Reduce Reuse Co en Cederberg-brouerye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
