Kigali — APR athletes have embarked on serious training as they seek to go a notch better at this year's Rendezvous National.

Competitive categories in the December event will range from 100m,200m,400m,800m,1000m,5000m,10000m, 5Km,10Km, relays, High jump, short jump, javelin, discus, short put, and steeple chase.
