2022 OUTsurance Gun Run
from PAWsome
After a two-year Covid-enforced absence, the OUTsurance Gun Run started off with a bang at Mouille Point with a 21km half marathon, 10km race, 15km trail run, 5km fun walk and 5km pet walk spread out over Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 September.
More than 12000 runners, and hundreds of dogs entered to take part in the five events making up the 28th edition of the popular road race.
The biggest winner on the day was the Animal Welfare Society of South Africa – the exclusive race beneficiary. Thanks to the runners R51522 was raised and OUTsurance, the title sponsor, matched the money raised, bringing the total of money donated to R103 044.
The money will be used to purchase a new six-berth dog trailer and to fund a pet sterilisation project in Gugulethu. The balance will go to purchasing pet food and paying for petcare bills at the organisation’s Philippi-based headquarters.
