The Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) recently announced the start of its annual roadshow and athletes from Pretoria who need advice about the iconic race will soon also be able to attend one of the seminars.

As the Comrades training season kicks off, the roadshow will visit four key locations to inspire and equip its 24,000 participants for The Ultimate Human Race on Sunday, 8 June 2025.

Local running clubs in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Western Cape will host the Comrades roadshows over the coming weeks. Comrades Coach, Lindsey Parry encourages runners to attend these sessions to receive exclusive advice on training, nutrition, injury prevention, and tapering, among other essential topics, including a motivational talk.

“These roadshows are designed to assist runners at every level. We will focus on important aspects like consistency in your training, building a strong base and improving endurance; paying attention to signs of fatigue or injury; making time for rest and recovery; ways to help prevent injuries and improve overall performance; as well nutrition issues and fuelling your training to aid recovery,” Parry explained.

For local athletes who want to take on the Comrades marathon this year and want to benefit from Parry’s advice, a seminar will be held on Wednesday, February 19 at 7:00 PM at Phobians Athletics Club. The club’s address is 378 Queens Crescent, Lynnwood, Pretoria.
