Arrows Running News - June 2024

June News

Well, another month has gone by - who can believe June is almost upon us? We're just so thankful that the evenings are now lighter and occasionally mild enough to just wear a T-shirt.

Please see below under section 1, the highlights of the month. But for now, some announcements:

Comrades, South Africa

Some of you may be aware that our long-standing members Louise and Viddy will be undertaking the Comrades Ultra Marathon in South Africa on Sunday 9th June. The event will start in Durban and finish in Pietermaritzburg. The route distance is 85.9km with a 12-hour cut-off period. This year the event is being run uphill.

We wish them all the best and look forward to hearing about their adventures in the next edition of Inflight.
