In line with its Runners First Initiative, the CMA has some exciting plans in place to cater for its athletes and to make the 2017 Comrades Marathon finish that much more achievable.

 

CMA Race Director, Rowyn James says, “With the high percentage of novice entrants for the 2017 Comrades Marathon, the CMA has scheduled a range of roadshows and novice seminars in partnership with major sponsor, Bonitas. These are intended to lend greater support to all Comrades runners, especially the first-timers who will greatly benefit from these initiatives.”

 

James adds, “We also urge our runners to heed the advice of the Official Comrades Coach, Lindsey Parry. The training programmes have been devised specifically for our Comrades runners and may be accessed through our website www.comrades.com.”
