Young Runners Ready for Harare Cross-Country Meet.
Harare begins its racing year this Sunday. The first big race takes place at David Livingstone School. Participants can be of all ages, from small children to grown-ups.
The main race sends men and women on an 8km run through the grounds. Teen boys and young adults face a tough 6km path. Younger teens take on shorter runs of 3km and 4km. The littlest ones dash along for just 1km.
Aaron Whyte leads the race group and wants every runner to join. Fast runners and long-distance pros can test their skills, and even quick sprinters can use this race to build strength.
"We want all runners here," Whyte said. "They need to see how fit they are. The race shows who trained well and who needs more work."
The meet opens doors for fresh talent. Coaches watch close as runners show what they can do. Each step brings them closer to the coming race season.
