    Team Africa Marathons has been busy!

    We are just over 2 months away from the biggest running event on the African continent – The Comrades Marathon and our team is getting pumped for their departure to South Africa.

    In anticipation of the big day, we thought we would share what the team has been up to in preparation for the race, as well as some of the incredible stories and Comrades memories from the team.

    Our team is travelling from 6 countries!

    We are excited to announce that we have runners joining us from 6 countries across the globe. They are eagerly training in each of their countries to come together in August in South Africa and race together at The Comrades.

    Meeting a true Comrades legend in the flesh!

    Rob Morley with Comrades Legend Bruce Fordyce

    Rob had the honour of meeting Comrades legend Bruce Fordyce last week at an event where Bruce shared some brilliant stories of the Comrades over the years 🙌🏃‍♂️

    Famous for having won the Comrades NINE times, and set 5 records, Bruce is a true running hero who is admired by thousands around the world 🏆

    He is also well known for having launched the Park Run concept in Southern Africa which now has over 1 million members!

    His passion for running, life, health and wellness is truly admirable, and he is definitely a legend of his time. This was a bucket-list encounter for sure and we cannot wait to see him again with Team Africa Marathons over in Durban in 2 months’ time! 🥳

    In loving memory of Susie

    John, one of the members of Team Africa marathons will be running The Comrades in memory of his late wife Susie. He will be running for the Royal Marsden hospital in Kensington, London for their care and support for Susie for 7 years.

    John will also be running for the Royal Marsden hospital at the London Marathon on the 2nd of October.

    We are honoured to have John on the team who is so dedicated to making a difference. We know Susie will be so proud of you! Best of luck John!

He shared these awesome pics with us from him running the Comrades in 1984. How spectacular to be able to still be running the Comrades almost 40 years later! We can’t wait to run with you Colin!
