But the excitement didn’t end with the run. Following the 6km course, the event took a holistic approach to fitness by offering participants the option to choose between a reformer pilates class or a rhythmic cycle (spin) class.

The reformer pilates session allowed runners to lengthen, strengthen, and stretch their muscles, helping to recover and counterbalance the intensity of the run. Meanwhile, the rhythmic cycle class — set to high-energy beats — was a perfect way for participants to keep their heart rates up and enjoy a low-impact but highly effective workout.

Both options were met with great enthusiasm, showcasing the diversity of fitness modalities that can complement a runner’s training.


As the event came to a close, everyone gathered for some well-deserved refreshments, fueling up with healthy snacks and drinks, and sharing their experiences from the day.
