The run will take place on 13 February 2010 at the Drakenstein Correctional Services (former Victor Verster Prison, just outside Paarl). Participants can choose between an 27km,10km or 5km route, as well as a 10km wheelchair route.
The 27 For Freedom Run aims to commemorate the 27 years that Mr. Nelson Mandela spent in prison for campaigning against apartheid.
The race will celebrate the 20th anniversary of his release from the then Victor Verster Prison,where he spent the last 18 months of his 27 year sentence.
In August 2008, a statue of Mr. Nelson Mandela - aptly named the Long Walk to Freedom Statue - was unveiled by the Tokio Sexwale Foundation at Drakenstein Correctional Services, as a symbol of Freedom and Achievement.
The 27 For Freedom Run is presented by the Cape Winelands District Municipality and the Drakenstein Correctional Services, and will start at this statue. Participants can also look forward to passing the house in which Nelson Mandela lived for the 18-month period of his incarceration. The site was declared a National Heritage Site in July 2008, but is not yet open to the public.
Costs are per race:
5km – R27p/p and starts at 09:00
10km wheelchair – R40p/p and starts at 08:00
