National Woman’s Day is known as a day to celebrate the
beauty and freedom of every South African woman. Whether it is: treating themselves
to breakfast in bed, a massage or even a day out with their girlfriends. Some
of the women however; choose to spend their woman’s day challenging themselves
in the Totalsport’s Ladies Race. This race happens every year on the 9th
of August at Stellenbosch, Durban and Johannesburg. This race is especially
dedicated to women. There is a 5km and a 10km long race for the ladies; to take
part in.

JUST FOR THE WOMEN
Once the women reach the finish line of the Totalsport’s
Ladies Race, they receive special medals and get free photos of themselves; which
were taken during the race. After getting a breather, they are then treated to
a special performance by any one of the South African music artists. The likes
of The Bala Brothers, Gift Gwe and Lloyd Cele have graced the Totalsport’s Ladies
Race’ stage. I strongly believe that
this is a great PR tactic to get women motivated each time they come to the
race each year. At the end of the day; which lady doesn’t want to be treated to
a great musical performance from a hunky artist after a good workout?
MORE CAN BE OFFERED
As a woman and of course a Public Relations student; I am
always hungry for more! In this case, I do think that the Totalsport’s Ladies
Race can include a little goodie bag for the ladies. I think this will be yet
another tactic which will make women want to keep coming back for more races
each year. This race has some sponsors which can help organise this, one of
them including the main sponsor: Totalsports. All good things can be better, and
I feel the same when it comes to the Totalsport’s Ladies Race. It is a very
motivational and fun experience for women and can even be more fun as time goes
by!

i have been particapting in the fun run for the past three years and I should say its very fun and you get to meet new people. there is also entertainment on the road while we busy running. i think to attract more people we should be given goodie bags.
ReplyDeleteMotsei I have also been participating in the race for some time now, and I must say that I have met some really interesting characters during the race! Entertainment takes the crown when it comes to the Totalsport's Ladies Race. I am happy to see that you also feel like we should get goodie bags with our medals at the finish line.
DeleteOH, it was sucha lot of fun to participate in therace for women.I wish alot of women could be aware of it and also participate. It helps in many ways, healthwise, lifts your spirit and you feel you belong somewhere, with all the old and the young together.Phambili ngabo mama and ladies and sisters,evenfriends. I cant wait again to enter. Come next year. Totalsports must really put some changes concerning the goodie bags, we need them as abomama.
ReplyDeleteWindza I am very pleased to know that you enjoyed the race so much. This goes to show that there is something right Totalsports is doing!
ReplyDelete@ Windza, how i wanted to join the race this time around but what do you know, someone that i know didnt invite me and i had kindly asked her to let me know on when the next race
ReplyDeletenext thing she is posing at the finish line, you should be proud of yourself Kele
We need more races like these, whereby ladies only get to run for fun.Mostly to enjot their godies.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Nokuthula, we need more races likje this because they are really a good way to encourage women in South Africa
Deletei also think the event is not getting enough publicity because this is the first time am haring about the Total sport event....his event could go far if the could jst get media publicity and maybe sponsors for the goodie bags
ReplyDeleteThe event's marketing needs some adjusting Simangele, because this is definitely an event not to miss out on
Deletewith more publicity the event get,i believe the event can grow bigger
ReplyDeleteYes Sabelo there is always room for growth, and I believe you have raised a good point!
