CHAIRMAN'S CHATTER
Thanks to each and every runner, supporter and friends for
attending our Comrades derby held on Saturday 25 May. It was fantastic to see
so many faces. I would like to take the opportunity to thank Mopani Pharmacy
for the goodie bags. Sven Musica for the Comrades photo. Moses from MOZMAS for the
shirts. To Petro and Shaun from UGEZI for the comrades tog bags, those who helped
with table cloths and set up. Also to MARK GREEFF for doing a fantastic job as
MC again and last but not least to the 2013 running committee for organizing a
lovely gathering. Thanks guys!
Apologies to those who had already left but we made an
announcement at Derby that the club would be donating R2000 to Paul’s Miles for Marrow Foundation which is in
support of the Sunflower Fund. Please click here for details should you wish
to make a personal donation to this worthy cause and why Paul has decided to
run for this cause. Good luck Paul!
Reminder of muffin run on Wednesday starting at 4.45 am from
LVCC.
Transport for disadvantaged athletes. We have arbitrated to
the best of our ability to get this transport organised, however, we are still
awaiting an outcome and the details. All runners who have been authorised only
for this will be notified. Thanks to Gladys for her efforts in this regard.
Seconding stations LVCC Comrades 2013. Please note the
following:
- PLEASE DO NOT RELY ON THESE POINTS – if for whatever reason one is not available we do not want you to have your run disrupted in anyway. There is more than enough seconding and water tables provided by the organisers. We as a club endeavour to provide these points as a support to our runners. We will have extra sandwiches, salt, potatoes, Vaseline, water and your bags with us.
- To get your personal seconding bags for these points. Hand them into us in a marked container provided at time trial at LVCC on Thursday 30th May at 17.00. Please do not include water, dairy or meat or anything that can go off as this will be disposed of immediately.
- Rules for seconding bags. Sealed ziploc or plastic bags with your name and comrades number clearly marked in permanent marker. Indicate 30km or 60km point.

All that remains for me to say is “good luck to all our
runners”! I’m looking forward to see each and every one of you along the route.
It is and will always remain a fantastic personal achievement to compete in
this run.
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FINISH AREA FROM NEDBANK.
We will use Highway Function hiring this year to host us at the finish. Come to our national Nedbank Running Club marquee tent to celebrate your race and to exchange war stories with fellow athletes. We will make sure our top National as well as International Comrades athletes will come to the tent as well for you to meet them. The menu will consist out of a boerewors roll as well as a hot dog for each runner and two drinks of their choice.There will be a variety of beers and ciders. We want to issue a special request to all Nedbank runners to visit the Marquee because your specific Nedbank Club is paying in advance for the catering and we do not want to waste food and drinks.This is also an easy regognisable spot where your family and friends can meet up with you after the race. |
