Catch the Bonitas
Comrades Seminars
No turning back
‘With the Comrades Marathon 2018 theme being ‘Asijki
– No turning back’ we are even more determined to be
with the runners every step of the way as they make it to
the finish line in Durban.
Cheryl Winn, Chair of the Comrades Marathon Association
(CMA) says, ‘We continue our quest to stage a memorable
ultra-marathon not only for the participating athletes
and the spectators along the route but also the millions
watching it on television across the globe. It is one of the
most inclusive sporting events in South Africa, with a big
heart and always gives back to society. That makes us
proud.’
‘Our partnership with the Comrades is a long one and
we are pleased to have shared the journey with so
many athletes and supporters over the years,’ says Van
Emmenis. ‘For us it goes beyond the branding and logo
rights. It’s about sharing in the passion of the race,
celebrating the tenacity of the runners, being part of a
legacy that supports true grit and determination as well
as a helluva lot of preparation and being able to give back
to charity. It’s a winning combination.’
