Campus to Campus Inaugural Race 2019

Staff and Students Shine at Inaugural Campus to Campus Race and Fun Run

The inaugural UKZN 10km Campus to Campus Race and 5km Fun Run was not without inspirational moments; one of them being Ms Amina Ayamu, who completed the 10km race while in her second trimester of pregnancy.

A UKZN master’s student, Ayamu ran the 10km race while being six months pregnant and participating in her sixth race so far this year. As a regular runner, Ayamu trains at least once a week and is proud to have achieved a finishing time of 1 hour 22 minutes. ‘I have always been running and that’s why I feel like I needed to run, even though I am pregnant. I will try to run up until the very end of my pregnancy even if I have to crawl to make it to the finish line,’ she said.
