King David Big Walk and Night Run On an unusually chilly Sunday in September, King David Sandton proudly hosted a 5km King David Big Walk and the first ever King David Night Run, sponsored by Discovery Health. With over 2 000 participants, including students, parents, grandparents and staff, the KD Big Walk and Run aimed to unite all the King David Schools in a fun and healthy way, encouraging unity and cohesion between the various campuses. This year, the family walk was followed by a KD Night Run, which was driven in the high schools by the DIJE. Over 400 KD high school students, kitted out in lumo bandanas, ran for a cause.
