“The aim of the race is to collect as many blankets as possible to be distributed to various charities,” said the organisers in a statement.
“Each personality will receive a share of the blankets to donate to a charity of their choice. The 5s Alive Charity Race offers us all an opportunity to give back to the community. My charity of choice is the Society of the Destitute and Aged. The programme will commence at 10am with registration followed by two races, one for the ladies and then the men’s race at 11am. After the race, Sulu will entertain guests for an hour after which proceedings will close. Tea will be served after the race.
