Train outsprints runners REPORTER
F
or the first time ever, the three towns of Nelson Mandela Bay were joined in one sporting event as the inaugural Nelson Mandela Bay Train Race challenged just under 2 000 runners between Port Elizabeth and Uitenhage. As residents lined the streets and cheered on the 7-person teams at the Port Elizabeth Station, Sydenham, New Brighton, Swartkops, Redhouse, Perseverance, Despatch and Uitenhage, it was the train that took the honours with just 30 seconds to spare. The packed train with some 600 dignitaries and families on board reached the Uitenhage platform after a distance of 38km in a time of 1:57:26, seconds ahead of first corporate team from IAC Investments (1:57:56). The team of Gamble Pharmacy from Uitenhage was placed second (2:01:00) with Transnet Lions (2:03:50) in third place. Charlo Athletics Club won the Club category whilst Graslaagte Primary claimed first and second spot in the Schools Category. In the popular Social Teams category it was the Secret 7 winning gold. This year’s event was supported and hosted by the Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism with various local companies sponsoring the change-over and water table points along the route. Media24 news papers Die Burger, UD News, PE Express and Indaba were the media sponsors. The event is set to become an annual event with organisers announcing that next year’s race will be a down run starting at Uitenhage station and finishing at the Port Elizabeth station. )Full results are available on www.nmbTrainRace.co.za and pictures from the event are available on the UD News website www.ud-news.co.za
