Spar Ladies 10km

While digging through the archives this pic of some of our "ladies", who took part in the Spar Ladies 10km race on 30 August, was discovered.

Aren't they lovely?

Time Trial Championships: 2008

Wingate Road Runners' annual Time Trial Championships took place on 25 November. An early thundershower cooled down the afternoon temperature, but the competition was hot from the start.

A revised handicap system ensured that there was no clear favourite for the title this year, and the winner was decided only within the last 500m of the gruelling 8km event. Congratulations to Vernon Hohls, Wingate's Time Trial Champion for 2008.

Race Report: Tom Jenkins

The Tom Jenkins 10km is one of the highlights on the Wingate Road Runners' calendar, and in keeping with tradition, the "race" was a very festive occasion.


Wingate athletes ran together in what is known as a Chairman's Run. There are only 2 rules to a Chairman's Run: 1) Nobody may run ahead of the Chairman and 2) The Chairman must run with the slowest athlete.

En toe het hulle WEER gekuier!
