On Human Rights Day, Ecomotel joined hundreds of enthusiastic runners for the Adreach Alex 5km and 10km Fun Run—an event rooted in celebration, unity, and community upliftment. Held in the heart of Alexandra, the race encouraged all participants to Explore Alex on Foot, passing historic places of worship, entertainment spots, and sports facilities that have shaped the township’s identity.
With multiple junior prize categories in the 5km event, the run created opportunities for children of all ages to get involved, making it a true family occasion.
Thanks to Gautrain, the official transport partner, travel was convenient, with a free shuttle from Marlboro Station to the race venue.
Beyond the fun and fitness, the event had a purpose: leaving a legacy. Proceeds and donations supported key community projects such as a Community Gym and School Holiday Programs - initiatives that aim to uplift Alexandra long after race day ends.
Ecomotel was proud to be part of this incredible event which inspired its staff to start its own running group. “We will definitely be back for more next year!”
