Yes- it really was stunning - so stunning that instead of cutting out the last section (which had been a thought)- I did the whole thing!
And the support along the way was superb! I think I might have Vitamin C overload having eating so many orange segments which to me are absolutely the best after all the sweet coldrink.
Thanks so very much Nikki and Team.
With love
Kathy

A real BIG thank you for the great run of today which I really enjoyed and will tell many a tale to all.
Thank you too for both the T-Shirts – one which I would like to have framed and placed if possible in our Club House at Natal Carbineers, Pietermaritzburg.
Hope to see you soon and if not in Cape Town on Comrades route.

I want to extend a very big THANK YOU to you and all your colleagues at Fish Hoek Atheltic Club for the excellent "long run" that you put on today. It was really a pleasure to run with a big bunch of folks who all have the same goal in mind viz. Comrades 2009. The organisation of the feeding stations was superb, the weather couldn't have been better and as promised, the soup at the end was worth running for!
I wish you an enjoyable and uneventfull Comrades.
Best regards...Marek Ranoszek

Well done today. You and your team were absolutely brilliant. What a pleasure to run this morning!
I did the whole hog, though really felt the last 10 kays!
Hope this will stand me in good stead for the trail season....
The weather could NOT have been better (as one of the ladies I ran with said...you obviously have friends in VERY high places!)
You’re a star! Thanks for letting me run as a non Comrades runner

Just a quick note to thank you and your remarkable team for organising such a pleasant training run for us this morning. You were exceptionally clever to arrange such a perfect day for us too!
Seriously, the effort you put it is appreciated more than words can say. The way in which our every need was covered was amazing. Not only were there water tables wherever we needed them, the angels of mercy manning them were, without fail, happy, friendly, fun and concerned that EVERY runner had just what they needed to see them through. Please say an enormous thank you to your team – they are stars, every one of them.
I stand in awe of your organisational skills – and still you had a smile on your face! Trust you were able to enjoy your own run as much as we did. All in all, it was a perfect day.
Many blessings on your head.

I have to say, that was one of the best runs I have ever done. I can't
thank you and your wonderful club enough for letting me run yesterday.
What an amazing experience that I will never forget. The route was
spectacular. The purpose of the run was inspiring. The hospitality at
every 3k table was touching. A truly one in a lifetime experience for me.
I finished the 56k in 4 hours 53 mins. The first time I accomplished this
type of distance. Two Oceans and Comrades are now on my list of runs to
compete in.Is it possible for you to email me the pictures? I noticed your daughter
took a few yesterday? Also, please send me your address. I would like to
send you something from the States.
Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Best-
Brian

Good luck for Comrades....hope to see you there.
Yours in running

On behalf of the Edgemead Runners that ran in your training run yesterday I would like to extend a big thank you to you and your team for arranging such a splendid run. I'm sure I speak on behalf of everyone that it was such a pleasure participating in this event. You really went out of your way and we really do appreciate what you put together for us on the day. Please extend our thanks to the friendly people on duty at the water tables and we really appreciated all the goodies and refreshments made available to us. Also the soup and rolls supplied at the end of the run really went down well.
Many thanks again.
Kind regards,
Raymond Currie

Thank you so much for organizing such a fabulous run. I cannot fault you on a single thing-everything was perfect.
What amazed and impressed me was the number of volunteers that helped out at the numerous water tables always smiling and enthusiastic(bar one just before the Cape Point road-perhaps he also wanted to run)
Please would you forward my thanks to all of them.
Well done.
Kind regards

The Lindsay Weight 4 hills training run keeps getting better and better each time I run it and I cannot thank you and your organising team enough for a fantastic event. Everything was organised brilliantly and the water tables were exceptional once again and pity I had to move on from the water tables as could have spent more time there as they were so well stocked. Even the weather this year played along and was great to run in sunny conditions after the overcast weather Cape Town has had recently and I am sure you are to thank you for this as well.
Hope you have a great Comrades run on 24th of May and see you along the route.
Thank you once again, I had a great day out.

A quick note to say a big thanks to you and your fantastic team for another brilliant job done organising and rolling out the Four Hills for Lindsay run yesterday. Every year you all do fantastic work to make this run the best, and you strike gold every time. Very appropriate!
Already counting down to next year’s run!
All the best,

Thank you for another wonderful training run.
We would be lost without your traditional Comrades run.
Please can you thank the support systems for their time and encouragement along the route.
The folk make sacrifices for us with no gain to themselves and we couldn’t do the run without them.
The soup was such a treat and delicious.
Thank you.
My shirt is a special treat that I shall treasure.
Thank you.

A huge thank you to you, Don and all your team for organizing a wonderful training run yesterday. The tables were fantastic with everything anyone could wish for, and the happy, friendly faces encouraging us all the way. You can be very proud of your team.
The soup at the end was most welcome and delicious.
Thanks again for letting me join you on the Smitswinkel training run as well, which was just as well organized.

Wow! I have no word other than wow to describe the event and the crew hosting it! I would just like to share my feelings regarding the run with you and tell you how impressed I am with everybody involved. I personally found all the volunteers along the way to be exceptionally friendly, hugely helpful incredibly enthusiastic.I also thought the event was meticulously organized. I mean heck, you even organized perfect weather. Everyone involved at the clubhouse was top notch too and the soup and beer did the trick and replennished all the lost carbs.
Congrats Fishhoek on a brilliant run. Those who missed out, missed out big time.
