It’s the ultimate focus on female fitness. The Comrades Women’s Boot Camp makes a return this year.
Scheduled for March, the Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) will host two women’s boot camps, in Durban and Johannesburg, respectively.
These camps form part of the CMA’s Runners First initiative and will provide tailor-made advice for female participants, assisting them to stay on top form while also motivating and inspiring them for peak performance on race day.
CMA marketing and communications manager Delaine Cools said, “March will be an especially exciting time for women in the Comrades world. We are excited to present these Comrades Women’s Boot Camps in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng this year.
“Last year’s inaugural boot camp will be remembered by many as one of the most invigorating and inspiring fitness sessions put together by the CMA, specifically for our ladies.
“Together with our boot camp instructor, Masibulele Mkhundlu also known as FitMasi, our Comrades coach strength and conditioning specialist, Shona Hendricks, as well as Comrades coach dietitian, Nikki De Villiers, attendees can expect an action-packed and highly motivating morning out.
“Our women-specific goodie bags will also be crammed with running gadgets, refreshments and mementoes, which we expect to be incredibly well received,” added Cools.
In line with the CMA’s 2024 campaign of showcasing Comrades’ Local Legends, Cools said they will have a motivational talk by 1993 Comrades Marathon winner, Tilda Tearle at the Durban Boot Camp and last year’s runner-up, Adele Broodryk at the Johannesburg Boot Camp.
