Congratulations to all of our Progressive Marathon athletes who challenged themselves to 6 consecutive days of running/walking and boy-oh-boy did they show up for themselves and achieve things they didn’t think they could 💪🏻👏🏼

We finished day 6 of the Progressive Marathon with a change of scenery, change of route, and some tough little hills 🏃‍♀️🏃👟🎽 at the centre on Saturday afternoon.
Not everyone could join us but we still thoroughly enjoyed it and enjoyed each others company 😀

Thank you to who helped with marshalling, and some of the videos,and who helped with road leading 🩷💙

Thank you also to the gentleman who happened to have a drone over the centre at the time and took some footage for us 😀

This is our truly fabulous Sarina 🤗

A very special lady with a kind, gentle, and loving soul. Sarina has a heart of gold and a wicked sense of humour 😂
If we ask for help with marshalling or lap counting at race walking events Sarina is the first to put up her hand. She is also very involved at the Noordwyk Parkrun every Saturday.

It has been truly amazing to watch your fitness journey, you inspire so many around you. You push through even when it’s tough, even when the pain is screaming at you to stop!

We are so privileged to have you as part of our RWFL Midrand family, Sarina! You are loved and greatly appreciated for everything you do and everything you bring and add to our club 🤗❤️

Yesterday was medal Monday 🥇🥳

Even though no medals were handed out at the Midrand Striders 60km pre-Comrades training run on Sunday we designed our own, chocolate, medal for Matthew 🍫🥇

One last long (30km) training run for this weekend and then the tapering begins. With just 33 days to go we are extremely proud of you; for your determination, your grit, and your perseverance even when it got tough! We’re behind you every step of the way and can’t wait to see you cross that finish line on 14 June 🏃‍♂️👏🏼

Thank you doesn’t seem like enough for all your support, patience, coaching, encouragement, love, and kindness you have shown . We can’t wait to share the day with you on 14 June as we support along the route 🤗❤️

Congratulations to , , and who tackled the 60km Comrades training run this morning 👏🏼

One of the things we are very passionate about at Run/Walk for Life Midrand is abandoned and rescued animals.

For two weeks we collected items that can be used during the Winter months, and of course some toys, for the animals at Animal Rescue who are waiting for their forever homes 🐶🐱One of our members, Cindi, was kind enough to make two drop offs for us, of blankets, toys, jerseys, puppy pads etc.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this Winter collection drive! Woodrock were delighted with everything we had managed to collect 🤗❤️
