Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Standard Bank Plc will hold this year\u2019s 10 Kilometres Blantyre City race Saturday and a newly formed joggers group says it is looking forward to the city run as well as the main race on June 4 in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n

Blantyre Jogging Club Founder Wadza Ottomani said the club has been preparing for the Be More Races with practice sessions on the designated route and also in Milare, on the slopes of Chikwawa road.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a club, we have registered for the Be More Races and have been jogging as a group using the route for Be More Race Blantyre and the Milare-Thabwa road which covers a distance of 19 Kilometres,\u201d<\/p>\n

he said. This year\u2019s Be More Race returns under the theme; \u201cRoad 2 Recovery\u201d after a two-year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Chief Executive Phillip Madinga said all is set for the event, which will race off from Standard Bank\u2019s Regional Headquarters along Victoria Avenue before circling back.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are inviting all fitness enthusiasts and marathon lovers to join us for the fun run, which will provide a firm test of their resilience and endurance ahead of the main event in Lilongwe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Madinga said this year\u2019s race is taking place under the theme; \u201cRoad 2 Recovery\u201d to highlight Standard Bank\u2019s leading role in facilitating the country\u2019s recovery efforts on both fronts of the economy and wellness after the two years of Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to mass vaccinations and public health restrictions that we continue to adhere to, the Covid-19 threat has been managed. Now is the ideal time to regroup and rekindle our mutual passions through Be More Race,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added; \u201cWe look forward to welcoming back and hosting athletes, families, clients, fitness enthusiasts, gym buddies, weight watchers, nutrition watchers and all other key stakeholders to the City Run which will create the atmosphere to prepare for the main race in June.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madinga said the return of the race reaffirms Standard Bank\u2019s commitment to being More than just a bank but a catalyst for lasting relationships that contribute to nation building and economic growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Be More Race has become a multi-disciplinary event deploying a Marathon to create lasting relationships with different stakeholders locally and internationally. This underscores that Standard Bank is more than just a bank, and always eager to do more, \u201d he said.<\/p>\n
