@runwithcuan@ComradesRace Thrilled to hear that! Last year's commentary team was disappointing (save for 3 people) and your insight was very much missed.
Our team of Massmart Mentees will be competing for the ladies non-elite team prize @ComradesRace this year, giving a new dimension to our team.
This is development at it's best, the mentorship of sub-elite talent into fully fledged elite athletes. @MassmartSA#empoweringwomen
@joewillburn Hi Joe. We do not have plans to include elite men in future. Our focus is on the empowerment of women and the promotion of ultra distance ladies running. There a quite a few "mens only" elite teams. Perhaps they can assist? #beinspired#chasingdreams
@enie1_Runs hasnt been tipped as a Top Contender at @ComradesRace 2019, but we just know she's going to shoot the lights out this year! Our firefighter vice-captain leads our team by example. She's definitely one to watch in the weeks ahead! @MassmartSA#creatingchampions
@Stephsmith85102@ComradesRace@JHNewNutrition Part of life as an elite athlete is dealing with setbacks and injury. But every time we fall down, we have an opportunity to get up, and to keep chasing dreams. This might not be your comeback Comrades, but it can still be your comeback year. A fast marathon awaits!!
No one ever publicises a bad run. Few will tell you how little training they've done. Humility is a characteristic too seldom seen. Train hard. Be confident in the work you've put it. Who knows, maybe this is YOUR time to shine. #chasingdreams#creatingchampions#teammassmart
The very 1st @ComradesRace#comradeswithcuan#didyouknow for this years race. Sisters have both won Comrades, Brothers too, but never a husband and wife. However the De Oliveira duo of Eloi & Grace both own top 10 gold medal finishes (Eloi 1993) (Grace x 7 between 99 and 2007)
Applications for the Team Massmart 2019/20 mentorship program will be open from 1 June to 1 August. Send you race results for past year, copy of ID, proof of residence in Central Gauteng and covering letter to [email protected]#creatingchampions#empoweringwomen
