The Red Carpet (Rhino) Run is a charity run where we invite a local celebrity and make a donation to support a charity or cause that they have chosen. If they do not have a particular charity then we will make a donation to The Endangered Wildlife Trust.
Bruce Fordyce agreed to host our most recent run and selected The Sports Trust as his chosen organisation www.thesportstrust.co.za/. Whilst marketing our run we were contacted and told that Zola Budd would like to join us for the run. As you can imagine, this was like being blessed by the pope ......twice.
We ran on Good Friday - which I will now remember as BEST Friday! We were joined by runners, mostly doing a last gentle leg loosener run before taking part in The Two Oceans Run. We ran an easy and chatty run from the Seapoint Promenade towards the Moullie Point lighthouse and back to our Mascot Herbert the Hippo who greeted us with Easter eggs, hot cross buns and water.
I unfortunately was unable to talk much with Zola during the run but enjoyed Bruce's inspiring and humorous stories. He has an amazing passion for his running and is very down to earth. He spoke fondly with Zola referring to competing internationally and funny little memories. Many of you may remember that Bruca Fordyce completed his 30th and last Comrades Marathon last year with Zola Budd who completed her first run. Fordyce remains a legend for his 9 comrades wins and Zola remains a legend for her great barefoot running.
Thanks for the honour of joining us on this great run! I hope all runners were inspired and ran personal bests at the Two Oceans ultra and half marathon.
