KLEIN KAROO ATHLETICS FAQ
1. BACKGROUND TO THE KLEIN KAROO ATHLETICS FUND (KKAF)
As a former athlete and involved in coaching local runners I realized that even though we have world-class facilities in Oudtshoorn there was very limited opportunities for competition. With the help of a team of skilled volunteers we presented the first annual Oudtshoorn Holiday Athletics & Klein Karoo Street Mile in 2009.
Highlights from the first 6 years:
Donney Danster from Morester Secondary sets SA Junior Record in the 2000m Steeplechase at the first meeting
Numerous world class athletes competed, first dream mile by Johan Cronje was ran in 2014.
2. AIMS OF THE Klein Karoo Athletics Fund
The Klein Karoo Athletics Fund was registered as a Non-Profit Organisation with two main aims:
a. We believe that the sport of athletics can make a positive difference in the lives of the youth from our area. Currently we have about 10 athletes that we are supporting.
b. Presenting the Eden Street Mile Series to give our athletes the opportunity to compete in our area against the best athletes from South Africa. This year our event has grown to three races:
16 December 2015 – Klein Karoo Street Mile in Oudtshoorn along Baron van Reede street
19 December 2015 – NMMU George Campus in George
23 December 2015 – Die Burger ATKV Street Mile in Hartenbos.
