Join us for a 65+km (probably more like 67) longrun on Saturday April 21.

Why 65 km and why April 21?
There are 2 well organized and great longruns planned by Durbac and Fish Hoek AC every year. I used to do the Durbanville 55 and would do a 10km before the start just to get 65 in for the day. Moving the Comrades forward really messed with Durbanville AC’s plans. The Fish Hoek one always seemed too close to Big C day and doing 56 after having done 56 only weeks earlier (at Two Oceans) seems a bit redundant. This run is 12km further (67) and April 21 feels like the perfect time for such a longrun with 6 weeks allowed for recovery.

We will start at the parking lot on Liesbeeck Parkway across Hartleyvale. The slow runners (8m/km) will start at 05:30 and the really fast guys at 07:00. Find your spot inbetween. We will have a table of water or water and goodies at 5 km intervals during the first 25kms (6,11,16,21,26), then every 4 km (30,33.5,38,41,46,50,54,58), then every few kays during the grind (60.5,63.5,65.5).

Next year I want to see a record number of entrants. We will go all out as a club to try and encourage as many of our members to enter on time.

To all these athletes and all the supporters good luck. Come one come all. I know sometimes everything just go wrong on the day and if it does just keep your head up and beleive in yourself. Watch out for those cut off times/points and dhere to them as they can be very painful.

I trust that everyone will enjoy this event and many more to come.Go out and have fun with the knowledge that this is only one way of keeping fit.Enjoy  the scenery and moreover the race and the atmosphere.

From all of from RCS Gugs AC.

The day went all so well with this country winning a couple of medals and also giving the Kenyans a run for their money. In no time this country can become a force to be reckon with.

I would like to thank all our members who came out to be part of this event.

Nceba is in charge of this program and we would like the support of the members to see this initiative producing some of the top athletes from early ages.

So if you want to be part of this programme of get your kids involved speak to Nceba.

Finish this off by coming to support our athletes on saturday if you are not running on the day. It is an amazing atmosphere so I suggest you come along this time and be part of these amazing events.

Our athletes need your support. We will have food for our athletes and possibly some for our club supporters. Do bring along also your cooler boxes as well. We will have our Gazebo on the stands as well same place as last year.

Last but not least, how is the training coming along I may ask. Well we will see on the day how your training was.

Please do join the guys there if you are serious about running.

I am not sure if that would make any difference but hey we show our anger in different ways. In all we performed well thus taking a team prize in the process as well.

Well done to all.
