The East Coast Radio Big Walk, an annual fun walk held in Durban, went ahead on Sunday despite KwaZulu-Natal Athletics (KZNA) declaring it illegal.
KZNA, which governs athletics in the province, had threatened to seek legal action to stop the 19-year-old event because it had not sanctioned it.The body urged its members not to take part in the Big Walk and warned the public it was unable to guarantee the safety of the athletes or participants because it had not sanctioned the event.The Big Walk sees participants choosing a 5km or 10km route which starts at uShaka Marine World along the beachfront and ends at People’s Park.
KZNA vice-president Mandla Mngomezulu said earlier in the week as the “purported event” falls within the definition of athletics, the Big Walk should be sanctioned by the body. The body at the time was deliberating on whether to take legal action, but did not approach the courts.
