KZN LGBT Recreation at Durban race

Some photos from KZN LGBT Recreation at last weekend's Big Walk race in Durban. The Big Walk began as a small event seven years ago, with 1800 walkers. It has since grown tremendously: 13 400 walkers entered last year and 18 000 were expected at this year's event on 23 May 2010.

Eleven members of KZN LGBT Recreation participated as a team-building effort and to raise the visibility of their group at a mainstream event. Contacts were made with KwaZulu-Natal Athletics in view of registering a new Frontrunners group as an official club by the end of this year. KZN LGBT Recreation also were present to promote sport for HIV-positive people as a key part of their overall treatment and lifestyle.

The walk boasts four different routes along Durban's scenic promenade comprising of a 5km, 10km, 15km and 20km walk, catering for everyone from fun walkers to seasoned professionals. It is a fun outdoor event where families can get fit together in a safe and social environment.
