Seminar for Comrades ‘newbies’
A Bonitas Comrades Novice Seminar will be held at Benoni Northerns Sports Club at 7pm on Wednesday, March 29 to assist first-time Comrades runners ahead of the marathon on June 4.
This year’s theme for the Comrades Marathon is “It Takes All of You” and the novice runner will certainly find this out over the next six months.
To help get participants across the finish line before the 12-hour cut-off time, it is essential that they are prepared.
It is important that they know what to expect of the route, that they have trained adequately in terms of time spent out on the road and that they also fuel their bodies correctly.
A panel of experts in the fields of medicine, sport psychology and dietetics as well as the official Comrades coach will provide invaluable advice, answer questions and support newbies in terms of complete preparation for the race.
The seminars will be held in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban.
Entrance is free.

• Tuesday, March 28 at 7pm at Sunninghill Striders Running Club, The Auditorium, Eskom Megawatt Park, 1 Maxwell Drive, Sunninghill, Sandton.
• Tuesday, April 4 at 7pm at the Irene Athletics Club, The Auditorium, Agricultural Research Council, Irene Campus, Olifantsfontein Road, Irene, Pretoria. For more information email to nonkululeko@comrades.com.
