Varsity Kudus 15 km Road Race Members of the Johannesburg manage the final water table along the route. On 4 January 2024, members arrived in number to provide chopped bananas, cups of Coke, and water sachets for the runners. Others kept the street litter-free. It was gratifying to hear several of the runners saying, “they’ve saved the best for last”. Many repeat runners have come to know regular helpers at the water table, adding to the friendly banter and light-hearted camaraderie. This is also an important fundraising opportunity for the SHR. For every entry, R5 goes to the SHR. We are very grateful for the continued support of the Varsity Kudus who have donated close to R150 000 in total over the years. The funds are allocated to conservation projects in our national parks. 128 SANParks Honorary Rangers 2024 PARTNERING WITH VARSITY KUDUS Members’ activities continued
