Clearwater Mall is turning 21 this year, and to celebrate that, they are adding a 21km distance for the very first time to their usual 5km and 10km races. The race will be held on Saturday, August 23, in collaboration with Panorama Running Club and other organisers, and it promises to be bigger than before. This event is now 11 years old, and this is the only event that has a king and queen for both the 10km and 21km – the first man and woman to reach the highest point on both routes. The winners receive extra prize money and recognition. According to Gangatha Mkele, the Panorama Running Club's chairperson, participants can expect to win big this year. The first 2 000 people to sign up will get a goodie bag, and there will be prizes on the day of the event. Special edition T-shirts with a secret on them are also available for purchase at the price of R220. 'The race is well-organised and has been going on for more than 20 years. There will also be official pacers for both the 10km and 21km races,' Gangatha explains. The race is suitable for everyone, whether you are an experienced runner, a beginner, or just looking to beat your own record. The 5km Fun Run is a fantastic family-friendly event, and participants can expect it to offer a great opportunity for kids and adults alike to unplug from screens, and participants can expect to enjoy a fun, active day outdoors. Meanwhile, the 10km race winds through the breathtaking Little Falls route, making it an enjoyable challenge for both casual walkers and experienced runners. The new 21km route has undulating hills that make it a moderate but rewarding challenge for those who want a tougher test. 'The race is hard, but you can do it if you pace yourself and respect the terrain,' Gangatha says. There will be stocked late-race hydration tables with water and energy drinks at every kilometre of the race to help runners throughout the race. The volunteers will also cheer on the runners to boost their morale. To register online, visit or register in person at Clearwater Mall at the info court on August 21 and 22 from 15:00 to 19:00.

Michael Scott's home from 'The Office' has found a buyer
That's what she sold! A condominium made famous by 'The Office' is poised to welcome a new owner after hitting the market for the first time in nearly 20 years. Listed for $710,000 in April, the three-bedroom, three-bath unit in Reseda, California, went into pending sale status on July 1, The Post has learned. While final closing details have yet to be disclosed, the seller's agents confirmed that the home is under contract at full asking price and that they are continuing to accept backup offers. Though the mockumentary sitcom was set in Scranton, Pennsylvania, exterior shots of the character Michael Scott's condo, played by Steve Carell, were filmed at 126 Kellum Court in the Kellum Court complex, a gated community in suburban Los Angeles. 9 The real-life condo that doubled as Michael Scott's home in 'The Office' — and the setting of the show's most memorably awkward dinner party — is under contract, nearly two decades after its last sale. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices 9 Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute, played by Steve Carell and Rainn Wilson stand in front of the condo. The property featured prominently in several episodes of the NBC series, including 'Fun Run,' 'Dream Team,' and fan-favorite 'Dinner Party,' the latter of which Variety once ranked as the greatest episode of the entire series. According to director Paul Feig, who discussed the set choice during an appearance on the 'Office Ladies' podcast, the condo was selected for its 'flow' and 'openness' — qualities that ultimately made it an ideal location for one of the show's most uncomfortably hilarious scenes. Romeo and Susan Guevara of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices held the listing. 9 Though the series was set in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the actual property sits in a gated LA complex once home to Johnny Depp and M. Night Shyamalan, according to the listing. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices 9 Michael Scott buys a condo in the second season, episode 3 of 'The Office.' 9 The living room. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices The Guevaras told The Post that open-house attendees were quick to make the on-screen connection. 'There were a few that visited the first open house [after they] saw the entry on the MLS state the home's claim to fame was that it was the venue for the dinner episode of 'The Office',' they told The Post. 'Then they recognized the place.' The 1,458-square-foot home, described in the listing as a 'very clean, well kept, turn-key home,' includes direct access to a two-car garage and a private patio. HOA fees of $550 per month cover yard maintenance, controlled gate access and earthquake insurance — standard fare in a region that sees regular seismic activity. 9 The 'Dinner Party' episode was aired during the fourth season. ©NBC/Courtesy Everett Collection While the show's producers took viewers to northeastern Pennsylvania, the real-life setting lies an hour northwest of downtown Los Angeles, in a 36-unit development that has attracted some notable names. According to the listing, past neighbors have included Johnny Depp and director M. Night Shyamalan. The Guevaras noted that the home's pop-culture cachet has helped drive interest. 'The seller mentioned to me that one of the homeowners bought one of the houses specifically because of 'The Office,' being in the same complex as the famous house.' 9 The kitchen. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices 9 Agents say buyers recognized the condo from its cameo, with at least one homeowner in the complex having moved there specifically for its connection to 'The Office.' ©NBC/Courtesy Everett Collection 9 One of three bedrooms. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices The unit last sold in 2005 — coinciding with the US premiere of 'The Office' — for approximately $490,000. The current asking price of $710,000 falls within Zillow's estimated value range of $656,477 to $736,000. In 2022, a nearly identical unit in the same complex sold for about $755,000, The Post previously reported.

Michael Scott's Iconic 'The Office' Condo Up For Sale: Check Price
A charming three-bedroom condo that most fans of the American TV series, The Office, will instantly recognise has gone up for sale. Built in 1987, the listing is currently priced at Rs 6.09 crore ($710,000), where Michael Scott, the lead character of the popular series, played by Steve Carell, stayed alongside one of his ex-girlfriends. Located in a quiet gated community in Reseda, California, roughly an hour outside of downtown Los Angeles, the condo featured in several episodes, including the fan-favourites The Dinner Party, Fun Run and Dream Team. The listing boasts "famous neighbours" such as actor Johnny Depp and filmmaker M Night Shyamalan. "This is a well-maintained, beautiful home in a gated community. Features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Very clean, well kept, turn-key home. With direct access to 2 car garage, a back patio that is serene and quiet perfect for family gathering," read the house listing. "This home is a great starter home, or downsize home as it can be easily managed and maintained. This property's claim to fame was the site for the whole episode "DINNER PARTY' of the show "The Office," Season 4, Episode 13." Realtor duo Rommie and Susan Guevara, who are representing the listing, told Newsweek that they made sure to highlight The Office connection after a few of the guests specifically mentioned the show when exploring the property. Social media reacts As the news of the listing went viral, social media users were amused, with the majority recalling their favourite bits from the show involving Michael Scott and the condo. "Looks like a fun place to host dinner parties!" joked one user, while another added: "For that much money it better come with a plasma screen babe." A third commented: "I'm surprised they shot that episode inside the same location as the exterior shots. That's not common. Usually it an exterior shot IRL and then a soundstage for the interior." Notably, a condo located next door with the exact same floor plan was listed for Rs 5.9 crore ($699,000) and ultimately sold for Rs 6.47 crore ($755,000) in 2022.
