The Ridgeway school community in Louis Trichardt came out in droves to support the school’s first ever Rainbow Run over this past weekend.
Judging by the riot of colour along both the 2.5km and 5km route - from yellow to orange, green, blue and pink - it was a fun-filled, colourful day enjoyed immensely by all. The Rainbow Run was not only fun for all, it also kicked off the school’s 20th birthday celebrations and even made history by being Louis Trichardt’s first ever walk of its kind. Young and old took to the course, which began and ended at Ridgeway College.
The sea of white T-shirts soon turned to a kaleidoscope of colour as the walkers were bombarded with colour along the route. “The Rainbow Run served to bring the community together, through laughter, camaraderie and the true spirit of our Rainbow Nation,” said the school.
As always, it would not have been possible to organise the event without the support of the community, parents and generous businesses. Therefore, the school gave a heartfelt thank you to the following sponsors: Coca-Cola Fortune, Mr Mutwanamba, Mr and Mrs Patel, C Jay’s Salon, KFC, Wimpy, Cater Pack, Timber City, Soutpansberg Spar, Midas Spares, Premjee & Sons, Surat, Dr Ayob, Seisoene and Mrs Kamera.
