Weekly diary for week 27 of 2022
Greetings to you all,
Well done to Nancy Will on winning the ladies section of the Mauritius Marathon in 3hr59 on Sunday morning.
The ORAK 12 hour circuit run held in Vredendal, up the West Coast was enjoyed by 14 club members. Expectations were high among some who have never tried this before.
The weather was good and the support and camaraderie among all the runners was great.
Well done to Marlene and Kaare James (first timers to this event) who were first in their age category and to Pierre Cloete 3rd, Judith Davidse 3rd and Delyse Rist 3rd in their age category.
Judith Davidse received her permanent number by completing her fifth Orak. Well done Judith.
Silver Medals went to: Judith Davidse 61km; Lee-ann Harris 60km; Trevor Edwards 60km;
Kate Jack 60km; Delyse Rist 50km; Mel du Plessis 50km;
Bronze Medals: Kaare James 42km; Phillipa Cloete 38km; Marlene James 34km; Henry du Plessis 33km; Sean Harris 31km; Pierre Cloete 30km; Amiee Edwards 30km.
A huge thank you to Lee-ann Harris who arranged the trip to Vredendal.
