Cape Town Festival of Running

Please take note of the following communication regarding the Hewat Festival of Running, scheduled for September:

FIXTURE CHANGE NOTICE!

Cape Town Festival of Running.

The organizers of the Cape Town Festival of Running are pleased to advise athletes that the 2014 edition of the Cape Town 21.1km Classic will be staged as per schedule on the28th September 2014. Entries open 4 August.  

Regrettably however… we have decided to postpone the staging of the Ultras and Team Relays to next year, because of our failure to secure adequate sponsorship, and the loss of a major partnership assistance for this year. These factors make it unfeasible for us to stage the full event this year. This decision also involves the postponement of the staging of the prestigious WPA 100km Championship event, which we have traditionally hosted, for as many years as the event has existed.  

We sincerely apologise to the many eager supporters and participants in these two events over the past many years, and dedicated officials and volunteer helpers who have done duty at this iconic Cape Town event. Hewat’s organizing committee would like to assure all supporters , that they will continue to seek the necessary means and ways, to stage the entire event again next year, and thank you for your understanding.  

We take this opportunity to thank the many people and clubs who have in various ways helped to make this event a success over the years, and look forward to your continued support in our endeavors to enhance athletics in this province.

Hewat Athletic Club.  (Event Organizing Committee.)
