Long Club Run
Our pre-Comrades 65km long club run, usually held on the second Sunday of May, draws hundreds of Rockies and non-members each year. It is endorsed by the official Comrades coach and Rockies honorary vice president Don Oliver, who also designed the route. There are refreshment points approximately every 3km. The 2010 long run will be on the 25th April from the ZLSC at 5am. Contact Rockies 08610ROCKY. Time Trials
We have a 5km time trial every Saturday morning at 7.30am from the Zoo Lake Moyo restaurant parking lot. This time trial has been going for 25 years, and is timed by Val and Richard Wilkinson, who are well known on the running scene. Comrades
Rockies offers members Comrades transport and an accommodation package at a greatly reduced fare. We also provide at least three much-appreciated seconding points during the second half of the Comrades route. Race
