Rössing virtual marathon winners to pocket N$ 20 000 cash
(21 January 2022)

Rössing Uranium has increased the annual marathon prize money, which will see winners taking home N$ 20 000 cash prize monies in addition to the N$ 20 000 development bonus.

Rössing Uranium’s manager Corporate Communication Daylight Ekandjo said: “Following our first virtual marathon in 2021, we recognised the effort that goes into running a virtual marathon and for that reason, we want to reward our runners for the hard work.

A virtual marathon is challenging because runners are all on their own, with no water points, no road marshals and running on different road terrains.

We looked at all these challenges, and as a responsible corporate company, we saw it best fit that we increase the prize money in all categories.”

She further explained that with Covid-19, our road runners have been struggling with events, and Rössing Uranium is committed to continue hosting this marathon in the best format that will benefit our people.

“This is our investment to the community, and for us, we want to continue promoting a healthy and activelifestyle,” she said.

The virtual marathon will take place on 12 March, and runners across the country can run from wherever they find themselves.

Ekandjo urged all Namibians to register for the popular event.

Runners can register on www.rossing.com closing date for registration is 18 February 2022.
