ANOTHER BROOKLYN ROAD RACE. ANOTHER INCREDIBLE SHOW OF 'GEES'!
Wind, rain and decidedly challenging running conditions did little to dampen the spirit of this year’s Brooklyn Road Race, proudly supported by Barnard Incorporated Attorneys.
More than 4,700 runners entered, with approximately 4,100 crossing the finish line. Feedback received by the Pretoria Marathon Club was overwhelmingly positive, with particular praise for the waterpoints, marshals and prize-giving.
As a main sponsor, we are enormously proud to play a part in an event that has become such a special fixture on Pretoria’s running calendar.
Our sincere thanks to Pretoria Marathon Club and everyone involved in organising and delivering another outstanding race. We were especially touched by the organisers describing the Barnard contingent as their “A Team”.
A huge thank you, too, to every member of the Barnard team who gave their time, energy and support before and during the event, and to every runner who took on the weather and the road.
A special word of appreciation goes to Alexsa Da Costa, whose coordination and commitment helped make the day such a success.
As Douw Breed put it, there are few firms that can match the culture and 'gees' of Barnard.
After another year like this, we may have to start calling it the Barnard Brooklyn Road Race.
