Move your body!! - Welkom in the Freestate is flat. So for endurance this is a very good preparation for the Two Oceans and Comrades Marathon. On the road we have motivation boards to keep going for a third round. The GREAT 48km mindset for Two Oceans and Comrades Qualifying Race. The GREATER 32km for endurance. The GREATEST 16km for the love of Running. The FABULOUS 10km for FUN & SPEED. The 4.6km for our Families to ENJOY & to be SAVE  & to be PART of our LOVE for Running. We LOVE our Waterpoints!!If you're in Welkom and you're bored (but I repeat myself). Three 16k laps around Welkom is great mental preparation for anything that life might throw at you!
