Flexifitness - Sends 45 athletes for Zoo Run 2014
Picture 1 - Last year's participants for Zoo Run 2013, last year
Last year, Flexifitness had sent about 30 athletes for the Zoo Run 2013. We realised that this is for a charitable cause, even though the price for registration is quite high. These athletes were sent for gaining experience also. We were surprised that many took part in this race.
In this year's race, we told parents of our athletes to support the Zoo Run to support the cause for the animals in the zoo. It would be a good idea to see the animals there as well, as this entry on the day will be free for participants.
Many came to support this idea and we were able to register 45 athletes for the race. There were others who wanted to register for the Zoo Run 2014. They were not able to gain entry as the zoo run registration came to a close. There was an overwhelming response for this race.
In the past, I was helping out, in the run, on the day by not running. This time around, I have thought to run and support the run by running the race as well, in the men open category, even though there is no men veteran category in the race.
