Jeppe High School for Girls

Jeppe Fun Run/Walk

The Jeppe Fun Run/Walk takes place in the winter months and was hosted for the eighth time in 2019.  The race caters for both runners  and walkers with a 5 km course around Kensington and is a relaxed affair that includes families, push chairs and friendly pets! Entrants are encouraged to dress in the theme of the day, but it is not compulsory. Parents and staff assist with marshaling and catering and the Metro Police are on hand to see that participants run or walk in safety. There is always plenty to eat and drink on the day. The Grade 9s set up their Entrepreneurial Market on the lower grounds after the race to sell their wares.

Funds raised from the event go towards the school’s bridge building fund.

We could not host  a FunRun/Walk in 2020 and 2021 due to lockdown restrictions put in place to curb the Covid19 Pandemic.
