SWAKOP Uranium will host its annual Husab Marathon on 13 August after a successful inaugural marathon last year.
More than 500 participants took part in the race last year, with runners from the country’s army and police dominating the marathon and 10km races.
The scenic route goes all the way up to the Husab Mine and back to the B2 road.
The race is aimed at attracting competitive runners, while serving as a fun day for communities from Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, Henties Bay and Arandis who want to take part in the 5km walk/run.
Runners from across Namibia and abroad participated in the inaugural race.
Participants can download the application form from www.swakopuranium.com. The closing date for applications is 8 August, while registration will take place on 12 August from 15h00 to 21h00 at the Vineta Sports Grounds.
