First ever walkers Guide in Runner's world

5 Oct 2004

The October issue of Runner's World includes the first ever 'Walkers Guide'. The guide covers all the details of the Cape Times FNB Big Walk which takes place on October 10. More than 26 000 people will be taking part in what is the biggest growing sport in the country.

"The guide itself may be focussed on the Cape Times FNB Big Walk but we are distributing the booklet nationally since most of the content of the booklet is relevant to anyone who uses walking as their main form of fitness," Runner's World Editor Mike Finch said. "It's the biggest growth sport in South Africa at the moment and the booklet is the perfect resource for anyone wanting to start walking or improve their experience and performance."
