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
leon.marais1@gmail.com 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. The following route profile
gives a comparison between the two routes:
Wishing all of our runners beautiful weather and a wonderful race!
