Bonitas Comrades novices seminars (14 April) Please see the attached document for further details. Magnolia Long Run (26 April) Overkruin is assisting at the Magnolia long run by managing a water point along their 15 km route. Helpers are required from our club in order to make this possible. If helpers would like to run the route, they are free to do so after the initial rush of the first lap has passed the water point. Please contact Leon telephonically at 072 390 9775 or by email at [email protected] if you are willing to offer your time to the club on this morning. Comrades braai (6 May) Please join us for a braai after time trial on 6 May. We will use this opportunity to wish all of our Comrades runners well and offer them our support. Bring your own meat along. We will light the fires and there will be cold drinks on sale. Comrades accommodation (27 May - 1 June) Accommodation in Ballito for Comrades is fully booked. The plans are in motion...Overkruin Atletiekklub will be presenting an AGN road running race on 23 May 2015 at the Kolonnade Shopping Centre! With the help of our generous sponsors, Kolonnade Shopping Centre, Virseker and Kings Hire, the race is set to be a huge success. We are going to need everyone’s help to make this event the best it can be. Any family or friends who are keen to help are also welcome. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Please confirm as soon as possible if you are able and willing to assist us on the day of the race. Please reply to this email with the names and surnames of all those who would like to be added to the helpers list. Looking forward to seeing you there! P.S. So far we have 37 club members and 38 non-members on our helpers list! The 2015 Two Oceans half and ultra marathon take place on 4 April. There are 15 and 16 club members participating in the respective races. Feel free to monitor their progress on the day by following the links on www.twooceansmarathon.org.za. Due to fire damage, the ultra marathon will run over Ou Kaapseweg and Southern Cross drive instead of traversing Chapman’s Peak and running up Constantia Nek.
