On 12 September 2006 the running fraternity was rocked by the sudden death of Dr Lindsay Weight.  For the Fish Hoek Athletic Club it has been a tremendous loss.  Lindsay participated actively in our Comrades preparations since 2001.  Lindsay loved the 4 Hills training run, and even though her duties on Comrades day restricted her to being confined to a radio studio, she would participate in this run nontheless.  In many a column she has written of her experiences on this run, her appreciation for the personal touch, and the ethos of the run.  To this end we have decided to host this run in her honour.  From henceforth it will be known as the “4 Hills for Lindsay” 56km long run.

As part of our preparations for this year’s Comrades Marathon, the “4 Hills for Lindsay” 56km training run will take place on Sunday 2 May 2010 at 6.00am, starting and finishing at the Fish Hoek Athletic Club.
