Captain's corner: October 2019

October Captains corner



Dear Bellville members

This month we are combining forces again as we have exciting news to share as a team, so we thought it best to share in a combined letter.

Firstly we would like to congratulate all the members and novices who conquered the Cape Town Marathon and the 10km as well.  We are proud of everyone and know you gave it your best.
Well done to all the personal bests, records and podium potitons earned in September. The 2018/2019 season is done and dusted, and we know you have put in the hard work and overcame tough injuries.

The new running season is here and there is a brand-new challenge starting namely the 20x10km challenge. We know that it’s tough to complete these challenges but we believe in you and would like to challenge everyone to join us on this challenge and to make this a year to remember! Even if you are a novice you can do it!!! 

For the more experience and master runners, we bow to your greatness and would like to wish you good luck if you are taking on the 21x21km and the new revised Ultra challenge.
  
Now for the new exciting news from your Captains!!

We have decided to introduce our very own Captains challenge. This challenge will give every member the chance to participate, contribute and take part representing our Club. It’s a point based model where you will earn points for participating in certain categories and be rewarded for your hard work by your Captains.

The rules and points are set out in this document (captain's challenge). All the members are automatically entered in this challenge and we will communicate monthly to each member the standings so they can keep track. The final-results will be announced at the year-end function in 2020.

We hope that you will have a fantastic new season with loads of PB’s and good fortune and happy moments on the road.

To all the members who have their birthdays in October, we would like to warmly congratulate you all and wish you a blessed year full of happiness, love and great memories.


Last, but not least, the season has changed, and the sun is rising earlier in the morning so the Sunday Ladies run will continue from 6 October 2019 at 06:00 from Sanlam Investments. If you are not on the Whatsapp group for the run please notify me so I can add you to the list. Please join us for this lovely social run.

Kind regards

Your club captains,
Ilze & Meyer Dalton
