MBABANE – Aspiring runners from the Lubombo Region should prepare themselves for an exhilarating competition this Saturday, October 26, 2024, as the Tinkhundla Talent Search Cross-Country event unfolds.

This much-anticipated occasion was postponed last month due to the torrential rains that swept across the nation. Lubombo is the final region to host this event, following successful competitions in the Hhohho, Shiselweni, and Manzini Regions.

The events will commence at 8am and will feature three categories: a 3km race for ages 10-15, a 6km race for ages 15-20, and a 10km race for the open category.

“Lubombo, are you ready? After being delayed by inclement weather, the Lubombo Region Cross-Country is finally set to take place this coming Saturday. Let’s gear up to showcase our talents,” stated Athletics Eswatini (AE), the event’s organisers.

The cross-country race is part of a broader initiative, supported by a generous E2 million sponsorship for the Tinkhundla National Talent Search, which was inaugurated by the Minister of Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs. This initiative aims to unearth talent from the Tinkhundla Centre and encompasses various activities, including an Under-20 football tournament, athletics, and the arts.

The Lubombo Region cross-country will be conducted across two zones: Lugongolweni Inkhundla and Siphofaneni Inkhundla. The centres within the Lugongolweni Inkhundla include Lomahasha, Mhlume, Dvokolwako, Lugongolweni, Matsanjeni, and Mpolonjeni, while the Siphofaneni Inkhundla centres comprise Siphofaneni, Sithobela, Nkilongo, Lubuli, and Gilgal.

Registration is still open.
