According to Hobson Misfit Studio will be coordinating this year’s 5km Slow Fun Run, which will this year again be held along two of the five beaches Sedgefield has to offer.
"Last year the race started with Miss South Africa Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters (now Miss Universe), and this year we welcome another celebrity to open the run, South African born World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) professional wrestler Justin Gabriel," said Hobson.
Entries for adults will cost R20 per person, and R10 for children.
"As with all the activities planned in the programme, these entries and proceeds will go to the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) of South Africa," Hobson added.

The festival will end with the popular egg toss, pictured here, at an entry fee of R10.
"This competition is great fun and an interactive way for families to get creative and connect," said Hobson.
Sotheby's will once again organise the Beach Treasure Hunt that promises to delight the little ones as usual.

Entry will cost R10 per child. The day will end with the popular egg toss at an entry fee of R10. Again, all proceeds will go to the NSRI.
