Kwa-Thema Striders host training session for Comrades

The long-run session is on May 4.

Kwa-Thema – The Kwa-Thema Striders invite runners to join them in their long-run training session on May 4.

The run is in preparation for the 2024 Comrades Marathon.

“It is just 37 days left for the Comrades Marathon (The Ultimate Human Race), which will take place on June 9 from Durban to Pietermaritzburg, a distance of 85.91km.

“The Kwa-Thema Striders have shown resilience, commitment and infinite performance through all the marathons and ultra races they competed in.

“This includes Johnson Crane, Balwin Jeppe Johannesburg and Pretoria, Kosmos-3-in-1 Secunda, the Two Oceans Marathon in Cape Town, Irene Ultra and City2City,” explained Sipho Skosana, the club chairperson.

On May 4, the KwaThema Striders will collaborate with other teams or clubs to spend time on their legs by adding more mileage and getting their mindsets right because this will be the last ultra training for the year.

“Anyone is welcome,” added Skosana.

The race will start at 05:30 for 06:00 on the corner of Motlapeng and Kgaswane streets.

For more information, call Skosana on 083 780 7402 or Tshepo Mokgotlane on 073 183 0444.
