Wednesday, 10 August 2022
Fairies, unicorns and even a minion were among the participants of this year’s CPUT Women’s Day Fun Run.
The rain couldn’t deter scores of CPUT women and a few men from participating in the event, which started at the stadium on the Bellville campus.
The participants joined in a warm-up session before Vice-Chancellor, Prof Chris Nhlapo, officially started the race.
Dr Nicole Brooks, Assistant Dean of the Faculty of Health and Wellness Sciences, was the winning runner while Francis Koordom from Cleaning Services was the first walker to cross the finish line.
The winner in the Craziest Outfit category was Deidre de Jongh from the Department Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering who made quite an impression with her Christmas-themed outfit.
The winners and all participants who dressed up in costumes for the event received prizes.
The event was made possible through the co-operation of the following departments: Marketing and Communication, Human Capital, Infrastructure Development and Facilities Management, The Office of the Vice-Chancellor, Health and Safety, Somatology and the Cape Town Hotel School.
