702's Gugs Mhlungu gets the lowdown from Danny Blumberg, event director for Walk the Talk.
The City of Tshwane is gearing up for this year's 702 Walk the Talk, a celebration of community spirit and resilience which explores our beautiful capital.
The iconic event takes place on Sunday 27 July, and this year, participants can choose from three distances: 8 km, 6.7 km in honour of Mandela Month, and a shorter 4 km option.
The longer walks will start at the scenic Freedom Park Heritage Site, taking you past significant heritage landmarks, and will conclude at the Southern Lawns of the Union Buildings.
Entries close on 23 July, or when entry limits are reached, so don't miss out!
Gugs Mhlungu chats to event director Danny Blumberg, who says the 4km route is a new addition this year.
"It's a lighter walk for those who want to be involved but don't want to walk the longer distances - you can walk it with the family, with a pram, and it's wheelchair-friendly. This walk starts and ends at the Union Buildings."
Danny Blumberg, Event Director - Walk the Talk
Remember that there is no parking available at the two starting points, so make use of the Park & Ride options available for both the Freedom Park and Union Buildings venues.
"The Park & Ride is very convenient and it's part of the experience for the day."
Danny Blumberg, Event Director - Walk the Talk
Park & Ride tickets can be bought from the available venues listed on the entry site.
