Wow wow wow! What an awesome run we had this morning. Thank you so much for all your hard work and all the organizing! I spoke to quite a few runners, and I can assure you all of us dearly appreciate what you and your team have put together for us today. Everything was so well organized. I really appreciated it!
Please thank your team and the chef as well. The soup was divine.
Hope you enjoy a well deserved rest chance:-). Kind regards

A HUGE thank you to you and the rest of the team for a brilliant 4 Hills ! The watering tables were perfect, staffed by such friendly people and of course the soup and buns was the highlight. All the best to you for the few weeks left and we are already talking about next year's 4 Hills. Kind regards
Sonia Human and the rest of the Somerset Striders runners
************************************************
Thanks for a very well organized run this morning. As promised the soup of the day was as delicious as usual. I even managed to discuss with Don Oliver what needed to be done in the last month to achieve a “gold” in Comrades but not sure whether his advice will help. Hope you have a great run and thanks again for all the organizing. Kind regards,
Kenny Williams

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the 4 Hills for Lindsay today. It was a beautiful run - and just so well organised and supported (more so than many races I have done!) I was very sorry not to meet you. The girls that gave me a lift from Stellenbosch were ready to drive back before you returned from your run. Will there be a Fishhoek tent at Comrades? I'll try to find you there! Please extend my thanks also to all of your volunteers who were just fantastic and so generous with their time. I wish you all the very best with your training and preparations to Comrades, have a wonderful race! all the very best,
Lizzy

just wanted to drop you a quick line post the run yesterday and say how suitably impressed I was with the organisation and efficiency of the 4 Hills for Lindsay run yesterday morning. From a seconding perspective everything ran smoothly, the supplies were great and I certainly had a good time. My husband, who ran the run for the first time was also very impressed. So thank you very much for all your hard work and preparation that went into organising such a successful run. Sincerely

I just wanted to say thank you for an amazing 4 Hills for Lindsay run. This was my first one, but I certainly hope to do more with you. I brought a gang down from Gauteng, and we all enjoyed it. The scenery was amazing, the help along the way outstanding, and the soup at the end...was just the best thing ever!!
What a wonderful way to celebrate the life of a special person. The ringing of the bell as the runners came in moved us all to tears!
Thanks again for such a well organized and memorable run. Kind regards,
Anne Kouvarellis
************************************************
I just wanted to thank you for an outstanding event yesterday. I met you while running oceans (absolutely do not expect you to remember) and you encouraged me to run the 56km yesterday. It was such a great run, so well organised and the water tables were fantastic. I am now so much more confident for Comrades and actually felt stronger at the end of yesterday than oceans. Many thanks again and all the best for your comrades run this year. Regards
Samantha Kalis
************************************************
Just a quick note to say thanks for hosting a great run yesterday - for an informal / training run it is superbly well organised and fantastic to do. Big thanks to your team of volunteers too, the tables were well stocked and it was great to be greeted with friendly smiling faces throughout the morning! And not to forget the soup that was just purely brilliant - I even considered driving back to the clubhouse to get more in the afternoon!
Take care and all the best with Comrades
Eric

Did you have a good run yesterday? I was surprisingly strong, despite Oceans just being a week ago.

Regards

Charl Souma
************************************************
I just want to say thank you for not allowing me to bail on the run yesterday, it turns out it was what I needed to bring my confidence back after two oceans. I really enjoyed the run, I actually enjoyed it more than comrades. It’s amazing how relaxed one can be when running without worrying about cutoff points and splits. I surprised myself, taking it easy and taking the time to smell the flowers and admire the views. Thank you so much, both Ntevhe and I will have a better comrades because of this run. Kind Regards,
Huli Moliea
************************************************
Thank you to you and the team for a very well organised run yesterday. It was a great opportunity to get some miles in early in the week and the views along the coast were wonderful, specifically early in the morning on our way to Scarborough. Best regards,
Matthew.
************************************************

************************************************
So sorry not to be able to say thank you in person on Monday, but, a HUGE thank you nontheless....
What a wonderful memorable fantastic fabulous and glorious outing 4H4L was yet again. Not my most comfortable or easiest of runs, TO most defs still in the legs, but the atmosphere and whole ethos of the run more then made up for any niggles - wouldn't have missed it for all the world.
You really do have this run waxed ... kudus to you and all at Fish Hoek who form part of your team. Perfect weather and conditions for running, superbly stocked watering / feeding tables, friendly enthusiastic and smiling helpers - it was hard to leave!!!
A very special thank you to you all for making this run possible and such a positive experience - tired legs and all.
See you on the road and may your Comrades be a fabulous one.
Fondest love
Linda Coetzee

Thanks for a great 4H4L. It was my 3rd and Annaleen's 1st and we really enjoyed it. We have not done Oceans and Annaleen is recovering from 'n knee operation, so this was our only long run before Comrades and it really boosted our morale to be able complete Comrades. Regards
Heine
************************************************
A belated but never the less very sincere thank you for arranging such a wonderful run on Monday. As always, the arrangements were absolutely superb and I appreciate everything that you do for us. What a wonderful morning out it was...every seconding table was awesome and all the helpers were so enthusiastic and positive. Running 4 Hills for Lindsay as a training run and taking the time to stop and chat to the "helpers" on the day, gives running a whole new perspective. Please pass on my thanks to the Fich Hoek club members as well as all the helpers on the day. Thanks. Best regards

************************************************
Afford me the opportunity to say thank you to you and your team for organizing such a great event. I had the best of runs and knowing the cause behind it, it meant a lot to my inner soul as well as I dedicated the run in honour of my late youngest brother as well who passed away just more then a month ago cause of long lung cancer. The water point was filled with the greatest of people and their time is worth more then what I could ever say in words. Keep up the good work and God bless.
Love
Andre Jacobs
