A couple of us will be taking part in the Panorama Cycle tour this weekend so will miss joining you on your long run. The route however on Sunday takes the cyclists through the Brondal Valley so we may see you. PLEASE be aware and careful of bicycles and good luck for the run.

Kit
Our first drop of kit was received and for those of you who met the deadline your kit is either collected or awaiting you at Mpumalanga running store. For those of you who didn’t make the deadline we are trying to fill your order with what we have left over so please be patient. We are in no way briefed as to when the next drop will be but we will keep you informed. For those of you who wore it at Loskop I think you will agree it was worth the effort and looks great!
