Bank Windhoek Corporate Challenge Relay on Saturday

With over 200 teams having entered thus far, the Bank Windhoek 2016 Corporate Challenge Relay in aid welfare is set to break records this year.
Last year more than 632 individuals in 153 teams of four each took part in the Relay Challenge.
The event, which takes place this Saturday at the Doc Jubber sport fields, will see teams from companies, NGOs, schools and friends come together to run or walk the 20 km relays. Each member will have to walk or run 5 kilometres each and will be supported by water points along the way.
The race starts at 14:00 and ends with a prize giving at 18:00.
There are four basic categories: Men (consisting of four men or three men and one woman), women (consisting of four women), veterans (consisting of four participants over 40 of either gender), mixed (consisting of four women and two men or three women and one man). Teams will each be doing one leg. A team member can however, participate for more than one team, as long as it is one leg per team.
Teams and their supporters are encouraged to bring along gazebos, tables and chairs.
All participants will receive a finisher’s medal, while the winners in the different categories will receive a gold or silver medal.
Though the main focus of the Bank Windhoek is to raise funds for various charities across Namibia, it also has the aim to promote employee health and encourage team building.
