Vryheid Athletic Club – Volksrust done and dusted

ON SATURDAY morning, a few of our athletes braved the early morning trip to participate in the Volksrust Marathon which started at 6:00am. Johan ran 21km, Cathy de Beer, Barbara and Sabelo 32km and Michael 42km. Ellen and Cathy Sandalls walked 10km in a time of 1h28 in stunning, overcast weather conditions. Well done to all. It is always a good feeling when the first race is over. A busy weekend lies ahead for Carla and Daylene, who will be swimming in the Midmar Mile. Good luck to you both. A good start to next week Monday, February 10, with our Valentine’s Race starting at 5:30pm (registration from 4:00pm) from Dee’s Restaurant. There will be a 2.5km and 5km and the entry fee is R10.00. Come and join in this fun walk/run and get your exercise programme up and running for the year. Vryheid Athletics Club meets every Thursday at our club house at Pioneer School at 5:30pm for time trials. Runners and walkers of any class of fitness levels (serious and social) are welcome to join. “The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. No one ever got good at something they seldom practiced.”
