Succesful Farm Fête & Wild Trail Run & Dog Walk on Game Reserve-thank you!
2011-09-01
We had a fantastic spring day on the farm and everything fresh after the rain on Saturday 27 August 2011 at Lake Farm.
The Farm Fête & Wild 10km Trail Run( walk) and Walk-of-Life for Ashleigh Botha(walk your dog for charity) went extremely well and families and friends enjoyed the farm "festival" and golden oldies played by the Lake Farm Centre Music Band.

Thank you to all volunteer workers, visitors and friends who made this day possible.
The over 100 trail runners started at 9am with the roars of lions and the final vuvuzela trumpet to send them off into the "Africa" wild. Christo Muller came in 1st in a time of 41min50sec and well ahead of the other runners.
We handed out R2000 worth of cash prizes sponsored by UTI and Royalston.
The winners, last 3 walkers, one who had a fall, one who got lost, one who had a close encounter with game, one who stopped for a photo and the man with the best pair of legs all received cash prizes.
The day included as planned:
Fête:
The food stalls and farm hamburgers, roosterkoek, fruit and veggies, tea garden will be available again not to mention all the other foodstalls, stall vendors, activities and guided tours on the farm and to the workshops.

Wild 10km Trail Run(or walkers):
Watch this space for updates and the progress with the wild trail run on the game farm in the real wild indigenous bush with real wild animals (we hope the lions don't escape from neighbouring Seaview Lion and Game Park).

Walk-of-Life:

Entries @ R30 for "dog walks" open at 8am also at the farm but kindly use the separate entrance opposite the parking area specially for the "Walk-of-Life" visitors. Pet owners can walk up to the 1km mark with their dogs following the same trail run route on the game farm.

Lake Farm Charity Run Goes Wild
2011-03-28
The organizing team of the annual Bukani Print adidas Lake Farm Charity Run in association with Bay fm & Die Burger added game drives to the day’s activities. Neighbouring game reserve Lake de la Vie sponsored game drives for R20 per person as part of the festivities. Patrons enjoyed the outdoors and viewed a variety of wildlife enjoying the sunny day in the unspoiled indigenous forest, including giraffe, blesbok, bushbuck, impala, zebra, wildebeest and eland.
The 16th consecutive Lake Farm Charity Run took place on Saturday 9 April at Lake Farm Centre in Lakeside Road.
Lake Farm Centre hosts its annual sporting event to raise funds for the mentally and physically challenged adults of the home. “Without the help from the runners and sponsors Achilles, AMB Holdings, Bushy Park, Castle Lager, Continental, Nedbank, Roundtable 195 and Volkswagen SA this event would not be a reality,” said principal Bennie Stadler.
The Lake Farm Charity Run offered activities for the entire family including a 25km run, 10km walk/run and a 5km fun run.
Visitors enjoyed the food stalls managed by volunteer workers and cooldrink served by Zwartkops Roundtable 195.
All finishers in the 25km, 10km and 5km received special handmade medals made by the residents of the centre.
Thank you to all the visitors, runners, organisers, sponsors, staff and volunteers who helped to make this special day in the sunny outdoors very succesfull 16th annual event.
