RWFL hosts send-off for Comrades runners
Feel free to support these runners on one of the most memorable journeys in their running careers.
ON Saturday morning, the Run Walk for Life (RWFL) Toti Comrades runners and their supporters came together for an easy run/walk.
Afterwards the special photos and goody bags were handed out and then everyone sat down to an incredible breakfast prepared by Tanya Gibson, Liesl, Matthys and Bianca Nawrattel.
Thank you to them. By then the Comrades runners started sharing ideas as what they plan to do on the day.
It was such a pleasure seeing the bond that has formed in the past six months of training and it is hoped will they will all have a safe, injury-free Comrades.
Feel free to support these runners on one of the most memorable journeys in their running careers.
Thank you to the sponsors of the goody bags and goodies inside, Val and Madeleine from Opperman ACV Auto, Giselle Hall, Ellerines, Rene Tupper, Mandy and Justin Willemse and RWFL. Without them projects like these are not possible.
Despite the cold weather, it is a pleasure to see how many young and old athletes turn up for training. Remember, if you have a body you are an athlete, all you need to do is to set yourself a goal, get off the couch and start training. Training remember our training days are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at Amanzimtoti High School from 5pm.
From 13 to 16 June there is a get-together weekend at Midmar Dam's Morgenzon campsite. Book and join in for a wind-down, relaxing weekend and to plan RWFL's fundraising for the second part of the year.
