Nedbank Running Clubs in full swing for the 2010 running season





We want to wish every Nedbank Running Club member a warmth welcome back this year. We also want to make use of this opportunity to welcome all the new members that joined our Nedbank running club this year.

A special welcome to Rene Kalmer, one of South Africa’s top female athletes, who have already won her first race last weekend in her new Nedbank Running kit.

We selected a Nedbank Green Dream Team for the 2010 running year and we will be launching this squad next week at the offices of NIKE South Africa in Midrand.This squad will be supported by Nedbank and Nike and we expect big things from them. We will have details about the full team in our next newsletter.

We want to congratulate the Nedbank Running Clubs with the record amount of our runners that entered the Comrades Marathon this year. With close of entries last year we have got 635 Nedbank Runners that entered. We as clubs must make sure these runners and especially the novice runners that will be running their first Comrades, must get expert advice and must be helped and directed into the right way to achieve their Comrades goals.
