The History…
The committee, at one of their regular committee meetings, decided it was time to start a Panorama race. The intention of the race was always to give something back to the running community and to encourage new runners. But how do you organise a race? Ask an expert! The then chairperson of the club volunteered to be on the Rand Athletic Club (RAC) Tough One race committee. Vreni and Dick Welch, seasoned RAC members and race organisers, kindly provided the guidance for Panorama Running Club to host their first 10 km road race in 2001.
The race started and ended at the Panorama Football club, with a turnout of approximately 600 athletes. The race grew and grew, and larger venues were needed. The Panorama race has previously been held from Heathway Centre, Fairland Walk and even Allen Glen High School.
The Panorama Running Club then obtained the phenomenal race sponsorship from Clearwater Mall. The popular Clearwater Mall/Panorama Running Club 5 km Fun Run & 10 km Race has been ongoing for more tha 10 years now.
