The annual Rockies Gerald Fox memorial race with G Fox and Discovery Vitality will take place in 2021 as a virtual race due to COVID-19, and is open to all runners. Vitality points will be awarded for entrants with a recognised device.
There is a different entry process for Runners wanting to run the route on the weekend of the race so that numbers and times can be managed to avoid congestion on the route. Numbers will however need to be limited due to COVID-19.
Runners wanting a Goodie Bag can pay an extra R35, funds will go towards Parktown Girls and Joburg Zoo. Goodie Bags can be collected from Parktown Girls (Date & Time to be confirmed) or can be couriered for an extra fee. To allow for packing and distribution this option will close on 27 August 2021.
Those running the route should note that it is a club run and not an official race - there is no start or finish time.
The 5km fun run will be run again in association with Parktown Girls High School and BRM. Runners making a donation to Parktown Girls or Joburg Zoo will go into a draw to win a food hamper donated by BRM.

Event location
Virtual Race,
| Route information | A virtual race is a race that can be run, walked or cycled from any location you choose. You get to complete your own race, at your own pace, within the time frame as stipulated by your particular event. There are no parking problems, no crowds and no long Porta Potty lines. There is no start gun or nervous, pre-race chitchat with other athletes. There's not even an official starting line! That's the kind of flexibility offered by virtual races, a new trend in the running and cycling community. Athletes who sign up for a virtual race register online and simply choose their route of choice. Once you are finished times can be uploaded via various timing apps as provided by your event organiser. Details of the timing app and how it works will be mailed to all participants closer to race day. |
