Are you tough enough for this year’s Medihelp Sunrise Monster in aid of CANSA Active to help raise awareness of cancer?
The 38th annual Medihelp Sunrise Monster will take place on Saturday, 7 March 2015 at Harlequins in Totius Road, Groenkloof, Pretoria and promises to pose a real challenge to serious athletes preparing for the Comrades, and real fun for fitness fanatics and their families.
What the Sunrise Monster offers
The 32 km event is one of the best conditioning races for the Comrades Marathon, while the 10 km Mini Monster and the 5 km Baby Monster fun run offer a less rigorous challenge to those who might not be quite tough enough for the main race. But the Medihelp Sunrise Monster also caters for newcomers to the running scene who simply want to have some fun in the sun with friends and family.
