Training Progress

18 Days to Go! And a bad week has ended... Riaan is battling with a bit of runners knee and took the week off to recover and rest? We hope he gets that stretched out quickly! Guy managed a 28km training run on Sunday after a very quiet week running wise, with his wife Zelda in Hospital. Who knew Witbank has so many hills? The infamous Lunar Street and Sky Street after 26km is no joke. Danie enjoyed a 2hr run on Sunday after a busy day with the kids. The week ahead promises many kays, building up to the Marathon we running in PTA on the 27th Feb!

Background on the Fundraising Event

Three Members of Round Table Southern Africa will be running approximately 350 Miles4Marrow in March 2010, with the aim to raise in excess of ½ million Rand in aid of those suffering with Leukaemia.

Following a route starting in the Lowveld city of Nelspruit, the runners run in relay (and together on shorter days) and wind their way uphill and over the Mpumalanga Escarpment, through the Highveld, then pass through Pretoria and end on The Melrose Arch Piazza.

You may wonder why?

“Let’s suffer a bit and run an obscure distance along an obscure route... and hopefully this will encourage South Africans and others to support a wonderful cause like The Sunflower Fund and ultimately those who suffer from Leukaemia.” Guy Crichton, Round Tabler and 350 Miles4Marrow Runner
