Watch: RCS GUGS Run for Unity 2022 Race

The Gugulethu Race returned in person on Friday for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. Under the theme, “Run for Unity”, the Gugulethu-based race takes place on the Day of Reconciliation, which celebrates South Africa’s transition to democracy. The RCS Gugs Race was established as the Amy Biehl Race in 2000, to honor the American human rights activist and Fulbright Scholar who was murdered in Gugulethu in 1993. The objective was to promote positive relations among South Africans. Now in its 21st year, the focus is still on reconciliation, but the race organizers are also encouraging a running culture.
