This year was no different as it lived up to its name. The course was slightly altered but it still is a killer. As always our members came out droves including our new members some of which some it was their first race over 21km.I won’t mention names. To these new members welcome.

You know this race is one of those that most of us use to gauge our level of fitness. After running this race you come out with either of two conclusions either you are fit or you need to go back to the drawing board. Well for me this always proves one thing which is no surprise each time, maybe next year I should refrain from doing the things I/We do during the festive season.

Anyway if you had a bad a B2B like me do not worry you have the whole 12 months to play catch up. We have now officially kicked off our 2012 racing calendar please do not look back again just move on forward. Until the next race keep those feet oiled up.

Keep runing.

It gives me such a great pleasure to say everything went well with this year’s event as usual.

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came to run, to watch, to assist and to witness. Everyone was a star on the day. I wish you could go out there and tell more of your friends,colleagues  and family members to come and run this popular race as each year there is always something to look forward to.

I also like to thank those runners who take it upon themselves to dish out sweets along the route. A suggestion has come up again asking us if we could not provide some sort of a central place where we can bring all these kids along the route to come to the stadium. Yes it is a plan to bring those that we can bring in but most runners feel much better going through handing stuff along the route rather than us, what is your take on this.

Again thanks all.

This is to make sure that none of our club members run on the day as we need all hands on deck on the day. So if you are a club member intending or have plans to run on the day think again. Just come out and help us do marshalling.

We started on time at 7:00am. Guess what we had only 20 members coming out to run. We expect more of you to come and help please.

See you then on the day.
